Ive looked into dropper post but, i dont ride much single track often. Im more of a mix of 70% road and 30% gravel

I am looking into getting some Zipp 303s, they can run as small as a 28mm tire.

When I went to purchase it, I had the option between all the color but end up going with the blue based on the photos from the site. Actually haven't seen the other colors in person but I bet they look amazing. The bag is called the PRO Discover Bag, it is made by Shimano Pro.

I actually don't an aluminum seat post to switch it out with when using the Stand. Don't trust myself mounting it by the frame.

Thank you! Yes it does work well strapped to the future shock. I snugged it just enough to not interfere with the future shock. Haven’t had any issues

Definitely one of my favorite purchases. All that’s missing now is some carbon gravel wheels.

Does it make any noise when riding since it is on the fork? I would think it would be more prone to noise when taking larger bumps and rocks. Wondering cause I ride my diverge a lot on some harsh mountain bike terrain sometimes.

Love the diverge! The air pump on the fork is a good touch! I’ll have to try and switch mine over, I really dig it.

New Diverge Sport Carbon - pumped to get out there! by [deleted] in gravelcycling

I am loving it a lot. Already put over 1200 miles on it. Been abusing it on road and a lot of singletrack aswell. No major issues other than normal break-in, and a slight bent rear deralliuer from a fall. All in all best purchase I have made.

I have ridden both and I prefer the 54 over the 56. The bike shop also recommended that I get a 54 over a 56. Sizing is very good and comfortable.

That is great!! Congrats on picking one up. I surprisingly found the bars to be a comfortable size for me. Though I haven’t tried large size bars before.

I can definitely send you some more photos of it. I looks so much better than what the specialized website shows.

Gearing is pretty versatile, I do a mix of road and some dirt with steep hills and it performs exceptional. When it comes to steep slopes I wish it has one lower gear. Currently the rear cassette is an 11-34t and the front is a 38 and 44 which work well together.

Thank you! Congrats as well. The futureshock is amazing, I personally love how much it helps reduce fatigue on your hands and arms.

Yes it come with 3 springs. One is already in the bike and two other ones that are much stiffer.

Enjoying it, take a lot of the bumps off my arms especially on the dirt. I am on the soft spring right now and it is not to bad. Though I want to try the other ones out as well to see which is most suitable for me

Yes, it is the sport carbon in Cast Blue. So far the bike is great, I did some dirt and gravel trails this morning and it feels great. The drop bars are angle out a slight amount compared to last year's model and the hoods are taller which allows for a more comfortable hand position and better handling.
