should be easy enough to do - take 2 photos of the bike on the floor in different positions, and one photo just of the floor without the bike, with the camera in a fixed position.

then you can end up with something like this pretty easily i think.

@PhilDAS they want me to cut it at the bottom bracket near the frame number

Interesting, through the BB shell or through a tube?

should be no problem, i´ve worked with ps for a little while. for now i´ve said that i don´t have a hacksaw and no chance to get to an workshop because of the virus-situation. wich is the truth

@PhilDAS i understand thru the bb shell

probably not quite as simple then!

apparently with santacruz you have to cut the bb shell out of the frame and post it to them!

That's a shame, at least you get a new bike though.

seems like a proper shame though for what could be quite a minor repair...

I suppose the rest may still be repurposed with a new BB shell

a new bike i dont´t want because its the complete opposite of my bike now.

i´ll try to get a more usefull frame for me or at least some kind of refund to buy a new one. as my last option i can give it to a friend who is a car mechanic. he fixed some bikes for us in the past

apparently with santacruz you have to cut the bb shell out of the frame and post it to them!

Kind of hope this is true, something very Godfather about it. Colnago, they'd definitely do it.

oookay, specialized seriously wants to send me a full carbon sequoia from 2015 as a replacement for my full steel bike. and i need to send them a proof that i saw thru my old frame in order to send the new one... don´t really know what i should do now

Just do it and sell it.

There are no carbon Sequoia tho, they best not mean old Diverge.

sorry, i got confused, they want to send me an old full carbon shit looking diverge

That’s fairly common with warranty, had to do the same with Santa Cruz, Cervelo, Trek, Transition, etc.

Decisions, decisions...

Also not a gravel bike...

Wait, the old quick release one and not the thru axle one? That even got post mount brakes.

The shop need to argue back that this would required a lots of changes in components, they should give you a carbon thru axle one and flat mount.

It apparently has thru axles but yes post mount brakes. didnt even saw that, thanks for pointing this out.

Dont accept their first two offers even though they are generous . The diverge frames where dirt cheap as trade hence why they offered you this . I dont see an option for a pizza rack unless you sell it. My girlfriend has an old 52 sequioia btw🙏

Stupid question, you can't use the Sequoia fork on the Diverge?

probably could work, but the diverge they want to send me isn´t one from this year i suppose and maybe the steerer is to short

No way i would accept a 5 year old plastic frame as a replacement for a sequoia.

probably could work, but the diverge they want to send me isn´t one from this year i suppose and maybe the steerer is to short.

The recent Diverge you can, the one pre-Sequoia you can’t.

I´ve expected he meant a diverge from this year, this would be something i can live with or at least sell and buy another frame off. lets see...

Please keep us up to date when you know more!

Not sure that is the best place to ask, but I figured the gravel peeps in here should have experience with converting cranksets to smaller gears...

I have a rival22 crankset with 52/36. I'd like to switch the 52 for 48 chainring. Sram seems to recommend to run 48 chainrings with 34's.
I'd like to keep the smaller ring though. So I was wondering if it 48/36 also technically works, or are there any problems to be expected?

So I was wondering if it 48/36 also technically works

Sram sell a Rival 46/36 chainset, so I'd have thought so

Yeah, 48/34 and 46/36 is confirmed to work by SRAM. But not 48/36. So that's why I'm unsure.
