Kagoshima to Sapporo Bike Tour ~ 2400km

 I'm planing on attempting a bike ride from Kagoshima to Sapporo this March 2027.  The distance of approximately 2400km.  I will be using a Tern Link D8, but will modify it for a long distance trip.

The primary modification will be swapping out the 11-32T 8 speed derailleur Shimano Claris 8 with a Nexus 8 gearbox.  The O.D.L. is 130mm so I could not go with the Alfine 11. But please follow my YouTube channel as I prepare for this tour.
