The ability to trim is really nice, I imagine it'll be yet more useful as things get grimy/wet - this is where my 2200 setup would start getting very unpredictable. I do have my concerns of being stuck crosschained in the lil ring/11t as the friction is all gone in a cold rain but the tightness is easily adjustable right at the shifter to the point of it being locked it place so I imagine it should be ok.
