Getting the fork replaced, 1" threadless with through axle and disk brake. Then yes ideally have internal dynamo routing in the fork. After I wired up the dynamo the first time around I noticed the holes in the frame for internal wiring, so yeah will try and make it mostly internal once i get it all back! Other mods are just a rear disc tab and then routing for the hydro cable. oh and getting the kickstand plate replaced so it can take regular stands (the only one i found that fits it currently is proper crap). Maybe a couple of extra small things for easier mudguard mounting but nothing else major.
Will go for a tubus tara on the front like platypus, and nicer mudguards too. didn't really enjoy being heavily loaded on the rear panniers. Also that gear ratio was beyond my capability for loaded touring in the hills of Wales.
