Bikes: Tern Link D8, much upgraded

After a year or thereabouts with the Dahon Speed TR, the dual drive started to play up due to plenty of use by a previous owner and some cams that are breaking. So I picked up another Tern Link D8 and another Microshift Advent groupset, and got tinkering again.

This time I stuck with the 52T chainring but put on an 11-46T cassette. No real clearance issues either this time, but it needs a 116 minimum link chain. More of a higher end, and still comfortable on the low end too. Currently running with flat bars, but I picked up a bar end shifter for a potential drop bar conversion touring-style in 2022…
