  1. My Neighbour across the road bought a Makro special on Black Friday. Initially it had been assembled incorrectly. I fixed that. Thereafter, at least, every second week the bike came back with a new ailment. Gears not working, play in the BB or hubs etc etc. Within a year, I'd replaced the rear wheel as the cups in the hub came lose. In your case, you have the bike. Ride it, look after it as best you can. But when it dies, and it will, get a bike shop bike.
  2. Parktool has some great videos on YouTube. Just bare in mind how many mm it need to move. If eg. You're converting a rear wheel from non-boost to boost there is a chance that you may need longer spokes. And also don't over tension your drive side spokes. Can lead to cracked rims.
  3. I've got a 1x11 GRX setup on my gravel bike (40T chainring and 11-40 cassette) and it's lovely. Get the GRX derailleur and you can get a 40T or 42T from Csixx or Ali Racing works or the likes to work on your crank. Then all that you are really paying for is: derailleur, chainring, chain, cassette and a cable) That's my 2c
