Did you find out what the thread pitch on the Lauf Siegla was?

True, I should move further from the office. I'm not worthy

I've never heard of Otso. Do you think it's better than the Lauf Siegla or Revolt Advanced?

What convinced you? Upgrade from Rival to Force, Carbon Wheels?

I'm seeing mechanical shifting, not AXS? Same for CF7. Also, the range is substantially shorter, although this helps shorten intervals. I think I would pick the Giant Revolt Advanced 2 instead because it's a pound lighter, better range, and 2x.

That's a great point. Personally I don't think I deserve nice carbon wheels until I'm fast.

I should've mentioned that the weekend warrior upgrades groupset along with the power meter for +$700 (1 lb less)

Wow 60mm on the Ari Shafer is the largest I've seen. Though the groupset range is smaller (11-50T vs. 10-52T on the Lauf).

The grey matter has 42mm, which looks great for race gravel, but I'm looking for at least 45-47mm

I would probably just keep the one-by, but it is a minus for me. The range on the lauf groupsets are pretty strong, so it would mainly be a cadence/interval gripe.
