Far out, I'd be tempted to go internal on the brake hose plus AXS for a super clean look...

Actually that's not such a bad idea. I dislike internal routing but for that clean a look I would consider it.

Am I OK to use the grease gun grease for the bottom bracket and places like that rather than assembly paste?

As long as you mix it with loctite.
Hell yes

OK one more -
Is it normal to be able to roll the wheel a few degrees when locking the back brake?
The rotor and cassette don't move but the wheel itself does for a few centimetres.

Not if the rotor isn't moving either. Check the rotor bolts are tight.
That’s nothing to do with the wheel moving with the brake on…Ah the cassette locking nut was loose, could be it?
EDIT: How did that tooth break off the cassette?

The shit that gets me is people dumping XX1 Eagle... which is a fckn awesome drivetrain, same as X01 Eagle. For AXS GX !!!!
Obviously AXS GX is a shit load better than mech GX as thats just shit after 6 months with sloppiness.
I absolutely hate SRAM 12 apart from XX1/X01 where they have really done their best, then for the lower stuff, left out bushes, bearings ect...

There is a fare bit of play if they're center-lock brakes.

6 bolt.
I think I might have it, the hub locking nut is finger loose. I'm tightening that up and see if that fixes things.
Also swapping to rear RT 66 and 203mm front

What is this sitting on the end of the hub axle?
It has threads but simply pops off

Was going to say it was protecting the threads...
Looks like a truncated edge on the inside piece, is the cap chamfered also ?
Never seen this before, ever.

It’s just an end cap. Will be one on the other side too presumably.
Does it have flat sections to tighten it with a wrench?
