the bike may be OK for most every thing but touring , but IDK how much money you spend to travel
carry less spend more to sleep indoors at night. is the ratio.
question was do you NEED disc brakes , probably wrong question
as now you went for Carbon Frame and disc brakes on a Cross Bike
need went over the transom and was replaced by desire.
BTW, I See lots of people on all sorts of bikes Touring the Coast..
want to carry more gear Think Bike Trailer rather than anything more
than small set of panniers on a rack on that rocket.
