What gearing do you recommend for bikepacking?
Thanks.

I'm not a bike packer and what works for me, won't necessarily work for someone else.
I've dodgy knees and like to spin at a rpm in the 90's to keep the knees unloaded.
I tour on a 29er Mountain style bike, well loaded (full panniers) and sometimes haul a trailer, so 15.3 gear-inches at the low end and according to Sheldons site, 80.2 at the top end although with my staid and slow riding style, I never get close to using my top gears.
