Grizl Alu, best do it all beast. Im thinking of getting Apex xplr 1x instead of grx 2x 400 to tackle bigger climbs and maybe save some weight

Alu Specialized Diverge (Elite E5) GRX 2×10, 700x40C tires (tubeless). It is ok. Only thing that I want to change is stock wheels… I thinking about getting DT Swiss GR1600.

Added a BBB ActionPost for a little extra vibration damping.
And just swapped the wheels over for some DT Swiss ones (which are still fairly entry level 370 hubs) but have a wider inner rim width, and trying some new 40c tyres.
Will probably go wider next time I change

How do you like your topstone?
Wanted to buy my first gravel bike and already made a reservation for the topstone carbon and due to the long waiting time, decided to buy a canyon grizl 6 carbon instead which I’ll get on Monday.
Really loved the look of the black topstone though, how is the suspension? Is it actually a surplus in terms of comfort?

Hey Dustin. I ride a budget Opus Horizon AL GRX/105. Swapped to tubeless on 38 gravelling SK+. Changed seat to Fizik Argo Tempo R5. And shortened stem. It’s heavy but I wouldn’t be faster on a lighter bike.

Nice. With your 2x you should be good on them thar hills.
I have a Topstone 1 Lefty with a 1x and about the same cassette—which I need to convert to a *true* dinner plate of 50+—because it’s just not enough range for hilly NorCal. I’m ready to faint after sustained claims of 25%.
The 3 bottle setup looks cool and I dig the two-tone.
I added a dropper and I’m very glad I did—comfort and speed in single-track downhill greatly improved. Also added a detachable rear rack. Mine is a n-2, theoretically replacing the townie and road bikes—if I can part with what feels like family.

It’s smaller than yours & it’s a flat (riser) bar Diverge.

Cool bike. Mine’s a Time ADHX 45 with 40 MM Continental TerraSpeed tires Classified 42mm Carbon Wheels with Classified Hub making the 1x SRAM wireless 50-11/44 into effectively a 2x that’s 50/36-11/44.
