You beat me. My buddy last summer bought one of the Synapse frameset - maybe it's a higher-end series than OP's post because he paid $1000 just for the frameset (frame + fork)....and he said he got...

Gee, I must be really out of whack 'cause I've never seen any plastic derailleur components (except for barrel plastic shells which can't wear out). Neither I've seen any plastic cassettes.

Yah, if someone does happen to wear out a derailleur over the course of many years, it's not very expensive or that big of a deal to get a new one. And I don't know of many people with $1200 bikes...

Did you not suggest that anyone could replace worn plastic derailleur components? Most road cyclists I know have more than one set of wheels, change cassettes on longer rides, based on climb grades,...

I still find it hilarious that your advice is to buy all these parts and do all that labor (or hire it out) to try to modify this road bike into a pseudo gravel bike rather than just buying a gravel...

Not a new derailleur; worst case a longer cage. Simple task for anyone with the skill to replace plastic derailleur components, parts should be less than $50.
Most any modern disc brake road bike...

Good grief. If you call selling them a derailleur at a fair price and being compensated for the time to install it a rip-off, then we are never going to agree on anything. And most people won't...

Main difference between road and gravel are the sizes of the rear cassette and tires - and possibly a longer rear derailleur cage for the larger cassette. Most modern road bikes with disc brakes can...

I think you are completely underestimating the strength of modern plastics. That derailleur is not going to deform while climbing. It'll work great when new, but will probably develop some slop...

Higher end derailleur and swifter will be smoother and last longer. If you are not in racing, competition, triathlon or those sort of activities too frequently, 105 is very fine. Commuting or casual...
