For the crankset, are you using the Shimano Deore XT M8000 Crankset 1x11 Speed Chain Wheel crank with Deckas 96BCD 38T chainring?
Edit : Let me confirm again on my bike once I have a chance to get to it. (but off the top of my head... )
Best you ask the shop you will set up the bike in beforehand, or just buy online.
As for Flat or Post mount, I think its clearer here :

Do note that the ChangeBike uses the IS mount (International Standard) which ironically isn't very international anymore.
IIRC, you will need
TRP Spyre (make sure its the one for road lever pull ratio), also it needs to be
Post mount and you need the
IS adapter. (also for 160mm or whatever disc size you intend to get)
Something like in this photo (but make sure you check that the adapter is included)

Yes, I got the
Shimano Deore XT M8000 Crankset 1x11 Speed Chain Wheel crank with Deckas 96BCD 38T, I then found a 44T chainring for the 96BCD (not common); Ideally, I would have liked a 42mm actually.
