Nice, that's much more hardcore than what I had planned. Was thinking a 2:1 ratio (or maybe a touch under) SS. 2x25l panniers.

That sounds more of a bikepackey, off-road ratio to me. I’d run whatever you normally do plus a tooth on the back. 2 tops. The luggage doesn’t slow you down as much as you’d think. I was on 42x17 with a couple of panniers, I know SS is different but I don’t think I’d want to be that much spinnier on the flats.

Have done a weeks tour fixed across the highlands. Singlespeed would’ve made comfort substantially better on the long downhills by the end.
