Ours has been grit-blasted by the Dempster, Trans-Labrador and Great Central Highways so neat finishes underneath have been replaced with mild surface rust. Dempster in particular is a really jagged, tyre-eating aggregate unlike the smooth round gravel in Oz. I’ll jump under tomorrow and take a few photos.Has anyone else heard this rust claim (other than the side runners made in China)? It’s the first time I’ve seen someone make that claim.
This whole unreliable/getting stuck on a trail thing sounds bad though.
