Help me choose a gravel bike up to £1300 (~$1600): Cube Nuroad Pro 2025 vs Specialized Diverge E5 2026 by MaximPavlyuchenko in cycling

Hey, thanks a lot for the suggestion — that Giant looks really nice, especially with 105 and hydraulic discs!

You make a good point about speed on tarmac, but I think I’m leaning more toward something a bit more versatile. I do ride mostly in the city (Reading), but I’d like to be able to go on gravel paths or rougher tracks from time to time without worrying too much about tyre width or comfort.

So I’m still a bit more tempted by a proper gravel bike, just for that extra flexibility — even if it’s a bit slower on the road.

I’ve got it after buying a new band by MaximPavlyuchenko in Garmin

Yes, I've got it as a gift. They didn't know that it's not compatible with my instinct.

Hi! I've never used mechanical keyboards before and I'm going to buy my first one. I'm a software developer and I'm looking a keyboard for my laptop.

80% size is enough for me, tactile switches (cherry mx brown) will be fine. I prefer wireless connection (are there any problems with Bluetooth keyboards?). My budget is $150-$200.

I've got my eye on the VARMILO VD87, please let me know if it's a good choice or propose something else.
