Bar ends are easy enough to fit..Use small ones though because they may cause trouble with the fold..
Dahon make a pannier that should fit your bike..I would think Tern do also..A pannier rack bag may be better because you may catch any panniers with your heels..A front pannier rack from Dahon may fit..Do not bend any alloy arms on the rack..alloy /aluminium does not like being bent!
You should find one ..Perhaps looks for one to fit a 24 inch wheel bike and then you may be able to fit full size panniers..
Thank you for your reply tudorowen1. I am aware that i need the tern rear mech adapter. Which is fine. I had not thought about just switching the main chainwheel/sprocket. That could be a good idea. I'm ok with the idea of more gears though and a better shifting system. Which is why I had come up with the parts I posted.
I'm living in Chile and unfortunately a lot of the Tern/DAhon parts that can be found elsewhere cannot be found here. Like their big racks for panniers. The cargo rack etc etc etc. The "tern traveler rack" would be perfect. But they dont carry that here in Chile. Which is why I was curious about racks that fit 24" or 26" tires and seeing if i could make fit. Even if it sits a little higher. Which is fine because it will make panniers a little higher up
