Hey everyone, I'm starting to think about touring on my 2009 Trek XO-1. I've put a rack on it for my daily commute and it handles ok. My question is, can I go on centuries with this thing? Yes, I'll be adding a Brooks saddle. Ok let me re-phrase the previous statement: is it a good idea to tour 100+ miles on a Trek XO-1? My 30mi/day is one thing. A 100 mile through rural KY charity fund-raising ride is another. The ride will be fully supported (i.e I don't see ANYONE with panniers in the previous years this ride has been held).

So far my bike does good on the road (though I think i got a puncture because I lose about 10psi/wheel/day and it stays at 60psi after that) and off road. Wish the breaks were better though, not quite as quick to stop as my Trek 7000's.

Is the XO enough for an unsupported tour?
