Tern Verge D9 or Link D8? (www.ternbicycles.com)
submitted 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) by avidamoeba@lemmy.ca to c/bicycles@lemmy.ca

I'm looking for a folding bike and the two I'm considering most closely are the Tern Verge D9 and the Link D8.

I like that the Verge D9 has disc brakes and I have a strange attraction to its 451 wheels.

The Link D8 has a wider variety of compatibile tires but I don't prefer V-brakes.

Do you know a strong reason to choose one over the other? A strong reason I should be looking at something else entirely?

*It fell in the ocean a week after I bought it. Because I’m an idiot.

Thanks for the musings!

I looked at Bike Friday and they look really nice for travelling, fold-travel-unfold-ride. They only one that looks appropriate for frequent folding on the train during daily commute seems to be the pakIT. I'd definitely go for that instead of a Brompton for a 16" bike in that price range. Seems like they don't make the Tikit anymore. It looks like the best commuter folder they've had.
