About half way through the ride, I was thinking I might need to pull some of the pawls out.
I agree that I don't like how loud Bontrager's freehubs are (I think they're built by DT Swiss). On my last ride with two other guys on a gravel trail, I literally came back with a hoarse voice because I had to talk so loud to overcome the noise of the gravel and my freewheel. The other two riders were pretty slow so I was coasting a lot.
Do you have a cycle computer that can communicate with your new Di2 (requires wireless module)? I use the top shifter buttons to swipe screens on my Garmin 830.
