– This is my long distance bikepacking bike where comfort is king
– Comfy aero position up top (puppy paw position, handle bar bag aero position, and general upright riding position)
– Comfy using the wide drops on singletrack
– 36 chainring in front and 10-50t cassette in back is great for a granny gear on steep climbs. I don’t struggle even on 17-20% grades with this setup.
