Anyone know if I can run a 105 stages with their gravel crank? I heard the grx have wider Q factor so wasn’t sure or would their mtb stages be better with it ?
Thanks

The arm will fit on the crank, but the sensor pod may or may not clear your chainstays. Will vary greatly from bike to bike.

I just tried this. It didn't work on my bike. I checked with competitive cyclist first. They said it would work, but literally just slight rub. So, they totally refunded me and I bought the 4iiii, since they were in stock but the color scheme is a little off grx 800 vs grx 600.

Just to echo everyone else: it will work if your frame allows. I have a an Ultegra Stages on a GRX800 1x crank on my Norco Threshold. It works but the clearence is substantially tighter than it was previously.
