no problem, thanks.
I've ridden on all kinds of gravel roads, double track and some single track on 45mm slicks and it's doable with proper pressures for the situation, with four panniers, sometimes two, and it was doable. That's why I figured with these tires it would be at least a lot better, especially if you're not carrying too much stuff.
what load carrying stuff will you use? Do you already own the bags or panniers?
how much weight do you reckon?
What is your riding / touring experience?
