• I am bored of shaking myself to bits/ worrying about flats/ worrying about dinged rims while riding around on 35mm tires, so I'm thinking of swapping out my frameset (spesh Diverge 2016) for something a bit more capable offroad and carrying stuff. However, due to space constraints it still needs to be able to run well on the road with a change of wheels. Obvious options are the Bombtrack Hook EXT C (I'm wedded to carbon) or maybe even a Salsa Cutthroat (perhaps a bit too MTB-geom to do the double?).

    Lots of factors to think about, including compatibility of current components with the new frameset, but I'll cross that bridge later. Anyone got any bright ideas/ strong opinions on frames that could suit? Here's a pic to illustrate my issues, somewhere on the TNR.

  • The newer diverges take bigger tyres if you liked the old one, might have to put up with a bouncy steerer though.
