Should be pretty durable if installed right. I've got this setup on the Kinesis still. It's now almost a proper a gravel bike with flared bars, GRX shifters and tanwall WTBs instead of the skinny road bars I used for Badlands. I just need to find time to ride it!
Sounds fun!
It will be treated relatively badly on this bike but nothing too ridiculous.
Is there a trick to installing it right?
I usually go the shop for BBs and headsets but I'd like to try doing it myself this time.... I bought a tool and everything.
Don't know about tricks but having properly faced BB shell is a good starting point. All the usual stuff re: greasing threads and getting torque right and be gentle with the tiny locknut on the Rotor bearing preload thingiebob.
