A friend of mine had about 1500 mi on his tubeless and his first flat was yesterday. Never even checked the sealant or anything, just ran with the bike shop setup. Not recommended, of course!

I got a Specialized Diverge A1 new in 2017 for under $750, but I would caution against getting one with Claris and FSA cranks. A decent used one with Tiagra can probably be had for under 750. It's...

I was looking at these when upgrading wheels, but I ended up spending a...

Note, it wouldn't let me edit - I should add the "65th percentile" I referred to in my post is a guestimate solely from memory. I don't recall exactly where I was all-time for men.

If I could find the "like" button, I would like many of the posts here... again thank you! Got the matching front wheel (black label aero 65). We'll see how it goes and I'll watch the gusty xwinds!

My first bike 3 years ago, even less of a clue of what I was doing than even now. A Specialized Diverge A1 (entry level), it was fairly comfortable but heavy, 25 lbs. It's not terrible by any means...
