Glad the cdf was some inspiration, also @negaatio Orloski surprisingly never gets old does it.
Regarding the possibility of upgrading to hydro, that's why I chose 5800 so could change the shifters whilst keeping mechs if desired. My Spyres with standard cables and stock pads are great as mentioned but cables may satisfy or allow you to enjoy until hydro prices drop.
Re 650b would recommend but am still cynical about how easy it will be to source good tyres in say 5 years once the scene has moved on.
