I'm really not sure I would put any hybrid on a gravel. The torque I'd be putting on those gears up any hills ... Can't believe they would have any longevity.

I recently picked a ZTTO 9-46t cassette with just 1 alloy cog and even then I'd prefer to avoid using that gear if possible. I only got it because it's steel from 9t to 40t. The Spedao 10-42t cassettes which is all steel, jumps from 36t to 42t, while the ZTTO goes 36t-40t and then 46t with the alloy cog.

Looking for a crankset that is 172.5mm in length, converting my MTB to gravel so 73mm BB and want to run 40T chainring, any recommendation on crankset?

If you don't care about weight, look for the Shimano cues u6000 cranksets. I have the 42 t version on my gravel and it's solid.
Bought it on Ali for 45 usd

Elita now offers a longer rail version of one of my favorite AliX saddles.

I did order a 3270L and it was crap. The rails where not parallel and I was able to break the carbon base with hands.
So directly requested a refund.

Yeps, same here. Mine broke on the first ride. And I'm only 65kg.

But Cues only come in 170mm and 175mm?

Sadly yes  But if you haven't try out the 170mm, 2.5mm isn't something you really are gonna notice, and for must people, including me shorter crank actually feels way better.
Going a few mm between crank sizes isn't such a big deal, you compensate by raising your saddle with shorter cranks.

If you're running 6-bolt wheels, I've been really impressed with these cheap iiiPRO floating disc rotors. So far the rivets seems solid and they brake on a dime. Construction appears robust with thick 2mm disc rotors and a sturdy alloy spider. I believe weight was slightly above 100g.

I believe weight was slightly above 100g.

At which size?

[jonathanf2]

At which size?

At 160mm. They're not too heavy considering how sturdy they're built.

[ultreia]

At least they warn you. I'd definitely use this for race only!

But, what is the conversion from the 300 max tensile strenght to bike power watts?

[Sminchnz]

Watts won't tell you anything unless you take cadence into account.

lol what are you on about.  Watts is watts, has nothing to do with cadence.

[PLA]

Tensile strength to power? Dunno, but when you find out, would you mind converting my speed to weight?
