Remove the old tape and fit some new tape ;) If you're not so sure about changing it yourself then I'd recommend dropping into your LBS. Easy to change and adds a lot to the look for the bike.

Big favour bit personal but.. what is your height and inside leg and were you happy with your frame size choice in so far as the Revolt goes? Cheers

Many thanks. My choice has boiled down to a very lightly used 2021 Specialized Diverge Expert Carbon verses the Giant Revolt Advance 0. The Diverge will cost me about 20% less than a brand new Revolt A0. Revolt comes standard with Carbon rims. Some would say GRX 1x11 on Diverge is outdated and being a ‘21 model has Al rims. I am favouring the Specialized due to seeing a lot of highly favourable reviews and perhaps as possibly more premium brand, traded bottom bracket maybe. Anyway it is half the price of a current model and can be upgraded as time goes on. Neither bike would be a bad choice really unless you have a favourite? Cheers

So hard to choose and sounds like you've got a tough call there. Both very respected bikes. I'd go with what fit's best, will last and you'll be stoked to grab out the garage and ride! @@bonzaralph

@@TheContourCollective great answer thanks. Time spent in the saddle has to be enjoyable and generally it is no matter what but the more you do the more you scrutinise. Its definitely a growing niche. A couple of friends I contacted lately both now have a gravel bike in the collection. Seems like every man and his dog are jumping on it. The gravel configuration seems to suit our roads well n NZ as there is plenty of gravel around where ever you are. Definitely are parallels between gravel bikes and the also currently trending motorcycle so called adventure riding. The desire to get away from it all on a mechanical contraption;)

which mudguard did u fit in the front and which one u recommend for the back as well. I just bought the revolt 2 and the standard giant guards look awful ;-)

The front is a Mudhugger Gravel Mudguard and they have a rear to match. The rears not to everyones taste and won't be appreciated in a group ride but for gravel does the perfect job. Hope that helps!

Nah. See Dylan Johnson’s videos. He’s riding almost exclusively gravel bike at Lifetime GP events even those marked MTB. Except for the Stone pass, you could do everything in the video on a road bike even 🤷🏽♂️
