We just did a 50 miler each way on a weekend trip, and it was mostly gravel trail. I noted that with moving panniers the front, dropping the front tire pressure 5 pounds, the front smoothed out. Putting weight on the front helps dampen small frequency vibrations. I was noticeably happier with the weight on the front, less hand numbness.
