Low Geared Gravel Bike
I'm looking for a gravel bike for bike packing, but I'm a little shocked to see that almost all gravel bikes have pretty much road gearing.. how does a Clyde (220lbs and 5'9") do tracks with a granny gear in the 25 gear-inch range, and that's is on the lower geared gravel bikes. I looking for an off the shelf bike with drops, and a 16-18 gear-inch range on the granny, to get that it would need a double or triple grant with a 22 or 24 small chainring and a cassette on the back that is 11-36+......
Does anyone know of such a bike that has that off the shelf?
Many thanks for any suggestions.
