"Optimizing bikepacking setup? Please, it's not rocket science. Just understand the fundamentals of bike design and physics. Lowering the center of gravity is a no-brainer for stability, but you can't compromise on ground clearance and wheel travel. It's a delicate balance, not a one-size-fits-all solution. And those 'proponents' of the low and forward approach? They're likely just regurgitating what they read online without actual experience. If you're still struggling to grasp these basics, maybe stick to day trips with a hydration pack."
