Aside from this https://www.universalcycles.com/shopping/product_details.php?id=69460&category=5792 Does it make sense to put buy a set of wheels too? Those fat bike tires are $100+ ea + tubes. You can get 27.5 and 29"…

The Maxxis are not going to be as fast as the GK/ Rene slicks. I have them, and they are not as fast as my G-One Onestar (g-one speed 30c/allaround 38c/bite 650x50c) tires. Anything with decent size center knobs on gets…
Side exit bottle cage... For modern frames: Elite Cannibal XC does top and "3/4" (either side) exit. For SS/TI , I haven't tried but this should work Wolf Tooth Morse Cage
Aside from the saddle, you can play with the fit of the bike. 1) lowering the bars will take weight off your bottom. 2) pedaling hard (lower cadence) will take weight off your bottom. 3) moving the saddle backward might…
What side did you put the 6-bolt washer on? It should go on the outside.
1) if you’re getting torque on the bolt, the head is fully seat and isn’t going to seat any more. You were probably putting more preload on the hub end cap/ bearings. 2) that lateral play might be in there by design to…
Those are super nice, but all 6-bolt adapters are basically the same and all work fine and have done so since like 2003. What's wrong with them in your eyes? The only thing I don't like about them are the CL…

For 32c (or something along that width fully inflated), that 3.4 AR is going to be the only brand name wheelset on your list worth considering. The other wheels just won't be aero and not worth any effort unless you run…
And you're mounting it like this? EDIT: I see now... .the Diverge is 160 / 180. https://road.cc/content/tech-news/specialized-diverge-gravel-bike-range-gets-huge-redesign-273219 They just moved everything up 20mm - you…
That has a built in adapter, you mount it directly to the fork.
We could use better pics, but you should be able to flip or remove the thing between the caliper and the fork. It may still be on the SRAM caliper if you didn't remove it.

So Oval doesn't make anything. They just rebrand stuff... typically good stuff. Here's what we know: https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/99666987 https://www.fujiroadbikes.com/fuji-jari-23.html Oval Concepts 325, 6061…
Those a really the extent of the important differences other than the shape of the shifter and the SRAM crank can run Direct Mount chainrings which look nice and can be really small - Shimano GRX can run a tiny ring too…
The GRX 800- series (Ultegra level) stuff would map to the SRAM Force stuff as far as lineup goes. The GRX stuff shifts better in front if you're going to run 2x and you can add a crosstop brake level. Those would be…
