Sram force rubbing sound (not from fd)

Hey, I built my Canyon aeroad on Sram force d2 groupset and have rubbing (clicking) sound on my small chainring, here some fact's:

  1. Drivetrain is absolute new, besides powermeter (with chainrings), chain on fabric lube

  2. Its 99% NOT a FD, me with my mechanic tried a couple fd settings, even when the gap is huge there is still this sound

  3. This sound appears only on good load (200w+)

  4. This sound appears in all rear gears, not only on small - big or something

  5. On the big chainring is all perfect, no sounds, no trouble

What it can be?

Crank length on my new road bike

Hi there, Im building my Canyon aeroad cf slx (3d gen) and thinking about crank length. I bought new Sram force d2, but cranks are 175 here, so I will buy new one.

Should I go 165 with 180 cm tall (5,11) if I absolute comfort on 172.5 on my gravel bike with average cadence 90-95 on rides and 100-105 on ftp power? It would be my second bike, only for quick trainings and races, i love aerodynamic things, training for aero position, but with my weight (80 kg) the only way I can win something it's sprinting and attacking.

Maybe 170 would be a sweet spot?
