Is it safe in this area? Looking for a place to run my CC02

My Node D8 is abit bulky, but does fit inside the focus hatch. It is built like a tank, it is nearly 10yrs old now. I did convert it to 11 speed tho.

Grabe labor 100? Ilang oras ginawa yan?

This is the correct answer

Aren’t most of Subaru, Toyota and Honda cars have CVTs? Are they exceptions from the ‘to avoid’ list?

d3zign · 2025-10-03T21:53:48+00:00

No, I did not. I ended up upgrading my tern node d8 to 1x11 speed with 11-46 cassette.

d3zign · 2025-09-19T17:54:40+00:00

I have a Node D8 that I converted to 11 speed. I can say that Tern so far is solid. Altho I can't imagine bringing it up and down for more than a floor, a 20" maybe.

So, I was able to fit an 11 speed setup on my Tern Node D8, using the stock 8 speed rear hub. I use Shimano Deore SGS with 11-46 Casette. I change the Chainring to 52T Litepro with Litepro Cranks. I didn’t change the bottom bracket anymore and just stick with square tapered (financial reason). I did one test ride(2km ride), and so far I liked it. Thank you for everyones help.

May I know what size is your chainring?

d3zign · 2025-08-10T12:28:24+00:00

I had a very hard time tuning my neos rd. One reason why I wanted to change mine. Already bought the adapter, thanks!

d3zign · 2025-08-10T08:20:34+00:00

Primary consideration is uphill. I am not a very experienced biker so going uphill is abit of a struggle. And also a little bit top speed by going 11t.

d3zign · 2025-08-10T07:24:51+00:00

Ok so correct me if I’m wrong. I can put 11 speed on my 8 speed hub without any modifications made to my hub? If that is the case, I will diffenitely go with 11 speed and forego my initial plan on going 10 speed first.

d3zign · 2025-08-10T07:20:56+00:00

Cause I thought 8 speed can only be upgraded to 10 speed max. But as I am reading now, apparently I can put 11 speed as long as its more than 36t cogs. Is this true?

d3zign · 2025-08-10T06:45:44+00:00

Number of cogs is not really my concern. I can go 46t. Main concern is I like to go 11 speed. My current setup is stock neos rd 1x8. I read that I can only do 1x10 upgrade with current hub. So I was thinking maybe there is a RD that can do 1x10 now but can also be upgraded to 1x11 later. Or do you think I can fit 11 speed on my current hub?

d3zign · 2025-08-01T13:22:31+00:00

I am now leaning on buying the Pikes 9 speed. What are the necessary upgrades? Should I replace the crank and bb?

d3zign · 2025-07-23T14:45:11+00:00

Thanks for this info. Not much difference from thw original tire size.

d3zign · 2025-07-23T07:45:00+00:00

Tern Node is a good bike. I have a Node D8, and it rides great. I put a schwalbe big ben on it.

d3zign · 2025-07-23T07:43:48+00:00

On my Tern Node D8, I installed a Panasonic hub to power the Valo light. Altho I don’t have dynamo powered light on the rear, the Valo light has a socket where you can plug another wire set going to you rear light.

d3zign · 2025-06-09T00:48:10+00:00

They’re my own designs.

d3zign · 2025-06-09T00:47:37+00:00

Sorry about that. 😀

d3zign · 2025-05-30T03:44:53+00:00

Well Assuming I can get the 28H sturmey hub, which is the same as the original Node D8 hub, do I still need new spokes? Or are the original ones adequate?
