Definitely pleased about the 11-34, but you still get stuck with a 34-34 1:1 ratio, which isn't much use for actual bad decisions riding (e.g muddy byways/singletrack). Ideally with a 34-30 you'd be about 25/26 GI which seems pretty perfect for bikepacking and occasional off-road. I guess you might want 22 GI if you were actually touring with four panniers and the kitchen sink, but i have a touring bike for that!
