Good point, I'll probably just get them to change my tires to 32C and look for eventual replacement once the stock wears out. Haha

These looks nice

The new 34 will be nice, but totally depends on your riding area, riding strength and typical cadence preferences as to whether it is needed for you. I want a 1:1 ratio for my gravel bike eventually, but it is not essential for many people. If you don't plan to do much climbing outside of most paved roads, I doubt that it is really necessary. 50x34 and 11x32 is a very capable range.
Thanks for the info!

I'm still surprised that not one review online compares how it rides on the road vs the previous Diverge.
