I have the 155’s on order…
 
After taking my new jeffsy for its first ride yesterday I immediately missed the multi release of shimano shifters. I went clamp type because it should let the shifter be moved further outboard than the ispec would allow.

Gonna try and make the flat bar gravel bike into a drop bar. It was this or buy a new Diverge, so this is the cheaper option. Running a 12s RD and cassette, supposedly the 11s GRX pull ratio should be fine? Guess I'll find out soon enough

Not sure what gives with the 12s, but the 11s wasn't the same pull ratio. You may have to buy a RD-rx822 rear derailleur...actually, someone tried a 12s GRX derailleur (which works with the 12s drop bar shifter) with a MTB 12s shifter and it's a no go. So it looks like you would have to source brake/shifters and rear derailleur to convert to drop bars.

Good luck. You'll like the Diverge when you eventually end up buying it anyway.

Yea. So. I watched the Bike Sauce video and saw what you're talking about. I ordered a 822 and realized even that might end up being a bodge after reading through the comments. So I cancelled the 810 shifters and ordered the 610s for basically a $50 difference.

But yea, the Diverge might happen if this doesn't work. I'm confident it will. Sorta. 😄

Don't go thinking I haven't looked at it more than once.
