You mean shifter? As long as the number of gears are the same, you can change the shifters eg. 8 speed cassette for 8 speed shifters or 9 speed shifter for 9 speed cassette. But it would be better if  you change them together if you are upgrading. Why are you changing shifters?

I am on Link D8, I am thinking to change bullhorn/dropbar because of my length of my hand, I feel the need of the extra extension. Not based on assumption, but after try on Verge X30h. For record, I am 6'5" blush.gif
As I can't afford to change everything at once, so one thing at a time. Then again, I can't change bar but not brake level and shifter. You get what I mean? laugh.gif

So, my wish-list are SRAM Red, Dura-Ace or Ultegra. doh.gif sweat.gif thumbup.gif rclxm9.gif icon_question.gif

Would any sifu here care to spend some precious time educate For those new to fb like me in breaking down the bike basic frame.  It is obvious that different models shares similar frame.  Take the example of Tern, it has P & D series - P9, P71, P24h, D8, D7i C7 (copy straight from the website).  They all seems to use the same type of frame (Link, 6061-AL, patented OCL Joint and Double Truss technology) but differ in fork.  From here on, can the experts willing to perform some hair splitting works to established the base frame (regardless of the models due to components), and the one level higher and so on?  I am keep bulking on this frame thing because in Mtb, we only look and buy the best possible frame and then choose the components accordingly.  So, still can't shake this off me.  Thanks

By now you have already read bro @etigee reply, which explained thoroughly.
In short, Tern Links share same frame design, so as Verge, Swoop, Eclipse, Castro, Joe and new Node, each series one frame design respectively.
As per the naming convention, Deluxe, Premium, Superior, Extreme. So each series it sub-categorized to such grade, for instance D8 simply means Deluxe grade 8 speed, The Jack of All Trade, as quoted from Tern. Verge S11i = Superior 11 speed internal hub etc.
These are personal finding... could be wrong. smile.gif Cheers

guys, sorry if i didn't read through the entire thread. would need some advise:-

1. what is the lightest bike and quick folding for commuting on LRT. budget circa 1k, used is ok too. What kind of weight should I be considering? under 12kg?

2. I know you can't bring regular bikes on LRT during rush hour, what about foldable bikes? does it have to be in a transport bag? what is rush hour defined as?

Thank you!

hey,
is this what you're talking about http://www.usjcycles.com/folding-bike-xds-fa16/ ?

anywhere else i can find the bike you're talking about? i see guys mentioning RM750, where can i get that kinda price new? any good shops to recommend that throws in a few extras (mainly front and rear blinkers)?

thanks for all your feedback, good to know they let you roll it into the LRT at peak hours.
