Not touring but I've had no issues crossing USA twice and Europe 4x
Ireland is tiny, you're not going to be that far from a bike shop and the beauty of hydro is you can run one brake and not die so take it easy and roll to a shop but normally if you set them up properly and carry spare pads you will have no issues unless you crash.

Touring with hydraulic disc brakes
Has anyone done this? When hydraulics go wrong, how easy are they to fix miles from anywhere with no tools? What is most likely to fail on a hydraulic set up? Off around ireland next uear and Interested to hear from anyone with practical experience. Thanks!
