I’ve toured extensively fullu laden on 34/32 including crossing the Pyrenees and various mountains in the Balkans. Could have been nice at times to have a slightly lower gear but I wouldn’t have need for a triple. Guess it comes down to fitness/preference. The fact that I’m a big heavy guy and managed fine would suggest anyone else should be ok.
I think suggesting a photo of a bike on the internet has the wrong gearing is nonsense, we don’t know the owner etc.
