Today was new bike day!

Diverge Carbon Expert finally came and so did I.

Anyway, immediately switched to 47mm Teravail Cannonballs from the stock 42mm Pathfinders and noticed I have like 4mm of clearance on both sides. I thought the 47mm was the max and I was more than happy with that but now I’m considering the 2.1 Thunder Burts I have in the parts bin lol

Anyone tried them? I think it’s a 2025 Diverge expert carbon with Roval Terra C wheels.

Thanks!

I’ve been naughty 👹

Finally found a frame in the color I’ve always wanted! I finished the build today but still have to dial it in, clean up the cables…
The only dropper post I had was this TranzX with external routing, I‘ll probably keep it.
Also considering swapping to a Surly Cheater bar I have somewhere in my bin.

Krampus Frameset - 800€
Karate Monkey Frameset - 675€

It would be built up with 29 wheels and 2.5 Teravail Ehline tires, Surly Sunrise bars/Origin8 bmx stem, Deore brakes and XT crank (32t) and RD with a 12 speed SLX cassette.

Main use - go there where my gravel bike can’t, pull my kid in a trailer (she’ll be too big for it by the end of the year so not that important.
Probably no dropper. I’m going fully rigid.

I still want a British racing green Krampus but can’t find one in my size so I’ll settle with the nose drip curry one or get a lost at sea blue karate monkey.
Also, the name Krampus Turn me kinda on so consider that.

I have been staring at my phone for the last 4 hours and my wife can’t take any more questions about my new bike.

Help me, please.

Could it be that the small Krampus is almost identical to the medium Grappler? Been looking for medium British racing green frame for a while now because I thought I needed a medium and now I found one in size small.
I had a medium grappler and it was perfect.

If they are the same, then I could probably rock a small.

Also, any frame differences to the medium? Post your small Krampus if you have one 🤙🏻
