Welcome to Triban's support page for the GRVL 520 women's gravel bike.
We have designed this bike for regular gravel riding. With its 700 wheels and tubeless ready 40 mm tyres, its (updated) SRAM Apex 1 group-set, this women's gravel bike is comfortable and efficient to ride on fast paths and trails.
Its wheels are compatible with tyres up to 700 x 42 and 650 x 47. There are eyelets for attaching a pannier rack and a mudguard.
Discover our tips for taking care of your bike.
Watch our tutorial video and find out how to assemble your bike.
When mounting the stem, the screws that hold the handlebar to the stem should be tightened to 6 Nm in an "X" pattern.
When using the bike for the first time, you should take time to bed the brakes in. This video will show you how to do it:

To set your saddle correctly it needs to be securely in place. A loose seat post can slip when you're out and about on your bike. Conversely, if it's too tight, you run the risk of crushing the seat post and damaging your bike.
The best way to tighten a seat post is to use a torque wrench. We recommend you tighten it to between 6 and 7 Nm.
Take care not to exceed the maximum height indicated on the seat post.
Riding with worn tyres comes with risks:
- Loss of grip
- Higher risk of punctures
In this article, we're going to help you recognise a worn tyre:
The chain is an essential part of your bike's drive train. It is important because it connects the chainset and the cassette. It transfers energy so that you can move forward efficiently, so it needs to be in good condition.
To find out if your pads are worn, check the thickness of the brake lining on the pad. You'll need to change the pads if the lining is less than 0.5 mm thick.
You're sure to find the answer to your questions in the FAQs
Are your pedals broken? Do you want to change your pedals for clipless ones? Here's our advice.
NB: please note that the screw thread on the left pedal is inverted and that the pedal thus screws on in an anti-clockwise direction. The right pedal has a normal thread.
Make sure to use the correct tool to remove your pedals as you will need to use some force to unscrew them.
If your disc brakes are making a noise:
- Check that the wheel is properly centred. To do this, loosen the wheel and tighten it up again.
- Check that the brake calliper is in the right position.
- Check the brake pads for wear.
- Check the tension of your brake cables.
There are several things you can do if your brakes aren't working as well as they used to:
- Use a degreaser to clean the disc.
- Check the brake pads for wear.
- Check the tension of the cable.
If your gears are slipping, you need to check the following:
- Wear on your drive train.
- The tension of the cables.
- The derailleur hanger, to see if it's in line with the wheel.
You then need to adjust the derailleur.
Is your chainring worn? Do you want to change the number of teeth? It's easy to change your chainring. All you need to do is use an Allen key to unscrew the screws holding the chainring in place. You can then fit the new chainring.
