thats some strong gearing with weight on the bike. ) nice tires, I used them several years.
I switch bak and forth between these Schwalbe Maraton Supremes (TLE) and the Donnally gravel tires in 40mm width.

I just found out the I can swap out the QR on my Sram 900 hubs for thru-axle. That opens some doors and reduces complications. Keeping the skewers required me to change my headset from taper to straight (due to the Spork fork options) and there was only 48mm offset available. With the thru-axles I can go with 45 or 50mm, and leave the headset alone. Thank you for mentioning that Darth Lefty

So it looks like this:
Spork Fork with eyelets and greater offset of likely 50mm;
Possibly a decauleur style rack, with square type "bag"
Off the back I'll need to think about. I like the rear rack, but maybe some very small panniers.
Possibly a long frame pack (one that allows me to keep my water bottles), but that would depend on what I end of carrying with me.

I like looking at pictures of ppl's setups. It give me good ideas. I know just about anything will work, but I like things that look good to me and function well too.
