Seriously though, wouldn't it make more sense to pick a lower gearing for audaxing to prevent fatigue? This guy does brevets and plans to use 42/17 which sounds more logical: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/310527/ Also, spin to win ;)
42/17 is enough for 20km/h surely. But who has fun riding 20km/h (or 1200km wtf)?

42x17 equals 28kph at 90rpm and 31kph at 100rpm, seems perfect for touring (if not a tad fast even perhaps).
