Hello :),
I recently bought the Cube Attain C62 SLX. It’s an endurance road bike with 34 mm tire clearance and I love it.(https://www.cube.eu/de-de/cube-attain-c-62-slx-sleekgrey-n-prism/125600)
Now I’d like to do a short “bikepacking” trip for 2–4 nights. Do you think that’s doable with this bike?
I was thinking about getting all-road tires 34mm and bikepacking bags(saddle, handlebar, frame) to fit a tent and so on. When planning the route, I would make sure not to ride any extreme gravel routes, but rather adapted roads with light pebbles/gravel or classic bike paths.
Does anyone have experience in a similar situation? What about the carbon frame — does it suffer under this kind of use?
I know not ideal, but Thank you all very much.

People sent carbon bikes through the Atlas mountains in Morocco last week and the frames were the last things to break. If at all, I don’t think any frames actually broke.
Did a trip with a cross race c62 last year, around 4 days and had no problem. I wouldn’t mount something on the seat stays but aside from that I got the same bags.
maximum weight limit on that bike is 115kg with rider and bike. depending on how much you weigh, you’ll hit that limit pretty quick. BUT that limit is generally lower than what the bike can actually hold. for shorter trips with lighter packing then yeah it’ll be fine. f
