How to Adjust a Front Derailleur [youtu.be]
How to Adjust a Rear Derailleur [youtu.be]
One main reason MTB/gravel riders upgrade to 1x (one by) drivetrain is to simplify the derailleur adjustments. This bike can be upgraded to 1x later, but would require upgrading the rear hub/wheel. There's nothing wrong with 3x drivetrain on this bike. In my opinion, 1x is more of a quality-of-life upgrade, others might tell you 1x also saves weight.

Also, regarding the kick stand mount, I was hoping that there would indeed be the 40mm mount integrated like I saw on the Trek frame commonly referenced in this thread as comparable, but I don't see this on my bike (16" frame), perhaps different sizes do/don't have the kickstand mounting? I even felt down both sides, and don't feel any place where they might have been painted over, etc. (like this right? https://smile.amazon.co
I also replaced the handlebar stem/neck with a shorter/adjustable one posted earlier in this thread, the stock solid one was indeed pretty long pushing the handlebars straight forward. Ordered this one used too, seems fine, trying to save every dollar I can for this budget bike: https://smile.amazon.co
You could mount it where the mounting plate would be so it doesn't interfere with the hydraulic brake hose.

I don't think that the kick stand I ordered is going to work for this bike, much less fit in that little channel that also has the derailleur cable running through it, so thanks for the link on that other kick stand. I think I like it being that far back, no chance of conflicts with pedals or anything else in the middle of the bike.

Maybe you could trade your 16" with 18" (or 20") with someone else on here, if they're close to you. Sounds like a few folks got 1 size too large. Don't blame them as most budget bike shoppers tend to buy 1 size too large, to no fault of their own but the fault of outdated bike sizing charts that are decades old now. Modern bike geometry fits differently from old school bikes. Most bike fitters would tell you they get more beginner cyclists come in with bikes that are too large than too small or just right.
There are some budget options on dropper posts that are still decent and not 2x the price of this bike (in fact almost the same price

Did I get 1 size too large for both of us? I can always cancel the 20-inch one since it's not shipped out yet.

My front brake needs some adjustment, outside of the wheel disk seems touching the break a tiny bit. Not sure how to adjust that, will do some research later.
--just found some youtube video about the adjustment, seems quite simple:

EDIT: Tuning derailleurs sucks... ordered a bike repair stand from Amazon to help make it not so much of a PITA... there goes another $70 :/.
