I have this bike and love it. Put a suspension seat post on and aftermarket seat and i have no discomfort at all. I put on pathfinder Pro 42 and made it tubeless but neither wheel would hold pressure so have gone back to innertubes. My reservations about 1x are completely gone. You can achieve a good average speed on this bike and it will take you through the woods or canal paths no problem.
🤔🚴 .. what rims did you put the tubeless set up on? I ran the standard rims with tubes.. it when I upgraded the wheels set I set them up tubeless- Bontrager Aeolus Pro 3V TLR with the Pathfinder Pro’s - they’ve been outstanding TBH .. the hold the pressure well & glide over the surface given I am running at 109kg before I carry any kit.. my other bikes all run tubes & I’ll leave them as they are .. but all good 👍- safe cycling 🚴♀️😄
🤔 it’s not something I ever looked into however there are clearly pilot hole fixings on the rear upper frame tubes/ seat stays both sides & the lower dropouts so clearly it will accommodate a carrier of some type 👍🚴
@@PieterJacob Well there are so many options out there for commuting, but sure if you are in the market for a quality Gravel Bike then the Specialized Diverge has fine build quality 👍 of course the what’s best argument is very subjective on bikes as it is with anything of a reasonable outlay .. however from my own perspective this Diverge has been great bang for the bucks, even before some upgrades I made it was still a fine Gravel Bike & in real world riding be it road or trail it’s very comfortable with the addition of the shock 1.5 which is built in to the head tube it all adds to a good package - the original axis elite wheel set can be converted to tubeless set up which I would advocate all day long & are ultimately a good value set of rims, however after 6 months ownership I chose to upgrade my wheels to a set of Bontrager Aeolus Pro 3V - which I run tubeless on a set of Specialized Pathfinder Pro’s which have been quite bullet proof 👌 safe cycling out there 🤞🚴
Very nice bike and cool upgrades. Dont want to be a negative person, but it does feel a little akward to put Bontrager on a Specialized dont you agree? Whats wrong with Roval parts? I think Roval Wheels should be on this beauty
😀 Ah well check out the video on the bontrager wheels it’ll tell you all you need to know .. price - warranty - value for money & importantly a No Rider weight limit …. @ that is quite unique in Carbon Wheels - not the Mavic, DT Swiss - Hunt - could offer anything that compared- I am 110kg before I add the bike & any kit I carry think on that … & after about 2500miles they are still bullet proof @ running them tubeless still 🤞 puncture free !! & of course they are aesthetically cool too 👍🚴
great video ...

Does it have the possibility to mount a carrier onto?

@@salvaquest2123 thanks, I’m looking for a commute bike and need to take my laptop and clothes, but don’t want to carry it on my back for 30 km.
