I’m just posting to not lose track of this thread. I have the same bike as you and similar questions. I rode a washboard-like 80km trail this last weekend with 40mm tires and found myself exhausted at the end of it – I found it super rough and difficult to never be able to get into a “rhythm” pedalling because I was too busy trying to not let my teeth get rattled around in my head! On my grave routes I have been pretty comfortable, but this one was an eye opener for me, especially with my hopes to do longer tours in the future!
Anyway, hopefully they’re some good bike brain opinions coming soon. Happy riding!
