I did the sky meadows overnighter. It was great experience and this bike handled my weight as well as my gear very well.
My budget mullet 38×11/51set up did well over the elevation here.
I loved the cushion of the big tires by the end of day 2. The bike padeled and handled well with the weight. I was shocked how it almost rides nicer with a load on the front rack.

That’s a fairly light setup. All on the front. I like it.
I’ve found for touring front bias is good. For bikepacking (like single track) it’s bad.
I now understand why there are conflicting information on weight bias.
Can you share your route? Love Sky Meadows!
