I suggest visiting the Touring sub forum here for other's opinions. Having done self supported touring for decades and now getting even older and slower I find that the lack of really low gearing (I live in the hilly Finger lakes of NYS and seek the hills of other areas on tours) on modern 1x or even older 2x systems to be lacking. If a low enough gearing is attained the gearing jumps between shifts tends to be more than I like in the more mid ranges. Andy (Who learned to shift a front der way back when)
