Just ordered the Diverge 4 Expert

Been deliberating for a while over whether to take the plunge, but found it brand new with 27% off. Never ridden a gravel bike but am excited to get into it. I feel like coming from my current MTB will be like going from a Ford to a Ferrari.

Thinking about making the switch from MTB to Gravel Bike

Looking to do a big ride next year (250 miles) in the Alpe Adria. Been talking to some more seasoned cyclists and they would take a gravel bike as they say its more suited to the terrain.

For context I currently ride a Kona Lava Dome which I think is a great MTB but to up my level every seems to suggest gravel bikes.

I've been looking at the Specialized Diverge but I'm wondering is it really worth spending all that money and will I really see and feel the returns from spending all that money?

Looking to do a bike ride for my 40th birthday

Im looking to mark my birthday with an epic bike ride with some friends. Out of all of us I would say im the one who is most into it, so the trip can't be riding up Alpe Du Huez because I dont think any of them will make it.

I'm thinking 30 to 40 miles a day, relatively easy going, but with some epic scenery in Europe in March time.

Can anyone suggest anywhere that might be suitable over the course of 5 days or a week?

Shokz Open Pro 2 as cycling headphones

Has anyone got a pair of these. Im considering getting some as they allow me to hear cars around me and just give me more spatial awareness.

​

Is the sound quality good and is the bone conduction technology all its made out to be?

Chafing cream suggestions

Been riding more recently and have started to get really sore on my groin area. Is there anything which is soothing and acts as a lubricant to prevent chafing?

Who the hell is paying 3 times the price of the controller and enabling this practice?! Its not like its imperative to playing games on a PC so why do people feel the need to put their hands in their pockets?
