I mean, I bought them cheap second hand locally, but I hear you.
That being sad, what you write is sound. Tbh, I wasn’t necessarily aware of bladed’s structural superiority, rather their aero value, which isn’t exactly what I’m going for. Also, using a second tool is pita. Although, I’ve built with revolution’s before and checking wind-up was a painful process.
Cx ray it is then. -

It's been said before. Climbing's all about technique; where you need to overcome the geometry of the bike, mostly the height of the front end which is optimalized for descents (otherwise, suspension is negligible).
Ass as far back as possible, while lying down on bars, to keep traction on the back whilst not wheeling. For tehcnical uphill sections, you also need to be in a relatively high gear so that you're able to pedal over the the rocks even in case of slippage. More aggresive tyres help with traction, though there's the weight right?
Imo there ain't anything more energy-consuming than technical climbs -

Hey,
do you think that the stuff like https://www.squidbikes.com/products/magic-tension-pf30-eccentric-bottom-bracket
Or others of similar type, afaik, problem solvers do one for pf30, wheelsmfg for bb30, trickstuff and phil for bsa, could withstand fixed riding?I would like to build an allround bike by buying a 2nd hand cx frame with the possibility to ride it fixed, ss and geared later.
Thanks guys

Correct me if I’m wrong. I’ve written to sapim but didn’t get a reply. If using their MS washers, should I add 1mm to ERD, when calculating spoke lentgh?
I’ve found a technical drawing on some of their distributors’ site.
