240 lb, 6'5", heavy bike (Rivendell Bombadil - a beast). I can't climb to save my life, but I have a 24/36 granny. 36 hole rims, worried that I need 40s. Luggage should be light but I don't have a guess yet. Panniers and trunk, loaded over the front wheel, small panniers on the rear if needed. Handlebar bag for good measure.
I assume that once I hit pavement my tire pressure goes up?
I'll put some more thought into luggage sooner rather than later.
