Hello fellow Diverge owners!

I have a quick maintenance question. I’ve had this amazing bike for a months and I was hoping to remove my rear through axle to do some cleaning and learn more about maintenance.
I’ve been unable to remove it with an 8 mm bit and wrench as it’s quite stuck in there. I’ve looked up videos and everything I’ve found made it seem like this is supposed to be an easy twist then it comes out.
Would love any feedback from yall! Trying to be careful with it as I’m new to this.

Here is my Diverge 4 custom build. Really happy with this bike. I upgraded from my diverge 3 expert to this.

When I bought this bike I thought it was black. Oh well, after 5 years it was time for new wheels and panaracer just happened to have even more green I can throw at it.

Once it's time for drivetrain work this will probably get a green chainring.

If anyone has suggestions for a half height frame bag I'd be interested in hearing about it.

Hi!
I rocked my shit the other day in a very odd accident

My mechanic told me the fork i need measures 28.6mm in the top and 35mm at the base, but the 35mm measure seems very weird to me since all the parts ive seen on ali express are 28.6mm at the top and 39mm at the bottom

The point is, can i use any fork that is tappered and has the correct internal cable routing?

Has someone replaced their fork on their diverge? I have the one that has shimano claris 2x8.

Regards!

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.

Hi guys, I’m about to pull the trigger on a diverge 4 sport carbon 2026 but I’ve noticed that some Diverge models have a 2027 variant and the sport carbon doesn’t yet. The 2026 version isn’t on sale either, does anyone know if a 2027 variant is dropping or if they’re just rolling on with the 2026 colours and spec for another year?

I would hate to order a 2026 at full price and then in a couple of weeks have the 2027 come out in a colour I prefer with newer spec!
