Thanks for input!I have the Synapse but not carbon. I bought it in the sale as it was a bargain, it has an aluminium frame and is too small for me, no fancy brakes and no 105 just Claris fitted and I reckon the wheels are made of cheese. There is no rhyme or reason for it but I love it and sometimes I feel like I can do some of my best times on it despite having spent three times as much on other machines. It's very possible it's all in my mind, I honestly don't know but I reckon the cannonball is a belter.
Prob best idea both look neat!Only real way to decide is to throw a leg over them.
What bike do you ride?My wife has the Diverge and it’s a lovely bike. It’s too small for me so i’ve only ever ridden it up and down the street.
I also have a mate who does big gravel rides on a Diverge and loves it.

Nice bike!View attachment 444165
For off road type riding i usually ride a Trek Crocket with fitted with Surly Knard tyres - I love riding that bike as it’s fast when I want it to be but also great for easy spins too.
Not ideal though for rides over 3-4 hours as the race geometry on it is a bit harsh after a while.
Good thought! ThanksCheck the Diverge has the newer wheels 142x 100 because I bought the Ultegra Diverge a few years back went to put some other wheels on and the wouldn't fit because the rear wheel was 137..
