I love my diverge STR. I’m an old dude and it’s nice having the shock in the rear as well as the front. I can ride pretty fast. The extra 2 pounds make zero difference with me. It’s well worth it because after a long ride on really bumpy gravel I’m not as sore as I would be without the suspension.
what crown race did you use for the crux? when i was planning my gravel bike i was also thinking a similar rudy'ed out crux but i could not find any details online for a crux crown race. cool build otherwise!

Diverge was the biggest suspension gimmick that turned your bike into a rocking horse whenever the road got bumpy😂
Specialized has never come out with a gimmick… lol
Something tells me you’ve not ridden one for any duration as the vibration damping is a revelation.
Any thoughts on the effects of adding a longer axle-to-crown fork on a frame that's not suspension corrected?
nice! What does Grace like about the sram red levers more than the rival/force shaped levers?
Can the new red levers be used with 12spd(rival/force/red) rear derailleurs? Cool build. I run the crux with stock fork.
Yes. Same hose connections plus can be programmed with all 12 speed sram road or mtb
Post a review of the crux please!

How tall is Grace? I’m curious because my wife is quite short and we’re having a hard time finding a good size bike for her. Cheers!
I’m 5’3” !

So… saved 2-3lbs sizing down
"Since the Crux runs a bit small, I decided to get a 49" what?
I misspoke. Meant to say the crux runs big so I sized down
Gravel bikes are for squers, ride the S Works and thank me later
Raise the saddle like an inch
We raised it after the video! We went out to ride on a time crunch so I was like it’ll have to work for now😂
Red levers are black.
It's a nice bike, but they should make a new model, the crux is getting a bit outdated compared to other brands
too expensive.
