I have learned to let things get tested completely. I held on to my toe clips for a couple of years after clipless pedals arrived and kept shifting on the down tube for a while after STI shifting came on the scene.
Myself along with countless others havent had any issues with road grime and mud. If fact youll notice how many cross riders are using di2. Ive run mine in all sorts of crap. Snow, Ice, Mud, and even submerged a good amount of mine in what seemed like a creek crossing during some crazy floods. Kept going and I cleaned everything up with a powerwash at the end.
