Using the Specialized Diverge Sport Carbon is a breeze. Just hop on and start pedaling! This bike is great for both road and gravel riding. When riding on rough dirt or gravel roads, the Future Shock 1.5 will help you stay in control, so keep pedaling and don't be afraid to go fast. For long - distance trips, use the rack mounts to carry your essentials. You'll need an aftermarket seatpost clamp with rack mount for the rear rack on carbon models. As for maintenance, keep the bike clean after each ride, especially if you've been on dirty or gravelly paths. Check the tires regularly for any signs of wear and make sure they're properly inflated. Also, give the chain a good cleaning and lubrication every once in a while to keep it running smoothly. And that's it! Enjoy your rides on this amazing bike.
