42 x 11-42 isn’t plenty though in reality for a gravel bike.

That I agree with, I’m talking mountain passes rather than towpath, even 46/30 with 11-34 wasn’t enough.

11-50 with a 40t chainring just about work.

32 x 10-51 and that’s ok but only because getting over 16-18mph on the flat is more effort than it’s worth.

Humble brag but I live in the Alps, so most of my gravel rides have 700+ m elevation. I find 11-40 x 40 fine. ( no luggage except the organic stuff)

It's not the elevation, it's the horrid surfaces you need to climb in sunny England

You know it’s doing a shit that helped, not taking it, right?
