I ask because I plan on doing some light-medium touring on my 'cross bike. I currently commute with a 1x9 setup. A 36T up front and a 12/26T in rear. I'm aware of different setups like single speed, fixed gear, 1x8/9/10. What I want to know is your setup, where you tour and how much weight you haul. Do you find yourself walking up a lot of hills?
