I finally took the plunge and tightened up the seat clamp, seems ok, good amount of compression within a short space of movement. It doesn't 'seem' like I've overdone it.
53/39 and 13-26, got my eye out for a compact, but not too big a deal if it doesn't come off.
Bike packing was the original plan, but the distance from the train stations to rented places found on airbnb wasn't that far. So we can use backpacks to get there and back and then use saddle bags for day trips. Gonna head to Kiev, Odessa, the Crimea, Carpathian mountains, the Black Sea and Chernobyl. So it will be include a lot of overnight train journeys.
