Hybrid Touring

Hello,

I am considering touring on my Trek 7200. Has anyone got any experience of touring with a Hybrid? What are the main concerns? Is it a big 'no no'? I am aware of the flat handlebar issue, but have worries about the wheels and frame? I will be carrying rear panniers, tent and sleeping bag - not a massive amount of weight. I guess about 30kg. I only weight 65 myself.

If you could advise me I would be grateful. I'm sure there's plenty I've not thought about just yet!!

Thanks Jamie
