    Since you bookmark it, I’ll add in my 2.
    After replacing BB and pedals traced it to not quite tight enough rear sprockets ( only heard under load up inclines).
    Clicking noise at low speed up hill turned out to be a dynaplug brass end tubeless repair that had come off inside. I think at normal speed, it sat in the tyre and didn’t drop.

    When you say rim tape, it take it you mean on the vertical side of the rim?

    The older tyre they used to come with was a bit ropey but the the current ones are good and score well on https://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/road-bike-reviews/mavic-yksion-pro-ust-2018

    The easiest tubeless setup you can get.

    The wheels are quite good too !

    How proud is the bolt? When I have neglected to check the cleats on my mtb shoes, I have used a dremel tool to score a new slot in the bolt, then I could use a screwdriver.
