Thanks for the feedback.
Regarding the cassette, it is VERY flat where I am racing, the 36 was for a 'just in case' and to try and be a bit of a cheapskate. Suppose it makes sense to just spend the extra £200 and build something for all terrain.
Have to admit, I'm hesitant about getting into the AXS ecosystem, mainly for the limited chainrings, but it looks like rotor etc do options. The XDR will also reduce flexibility with swapping wheelsets easily. Brakes aren't a concern, but I had no idea the AXS RD was so large.
I was considering Di2, but the cabling concerns me, and I don't want to rely on others to fit/fix. I probably should just learn...Also, there are still shift cables between the frame/cockpit which makes travel slightly harder I guess.
7100/8100 seems a good option, but there doesn't appear to be any option for a wireless cockpit for TT (though a blipbox type thing).
