I have a Tern Link, but am unable to find a replacement derailleur hanger. The pictures that come up are different to the hanger on my bike. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

This hanger is different to other Tern Link hangers.

Model is a Tern Link C8.

Have you tried your local Tern dealer?
Here is a possible place to contact:
DerailleurHanger.com
The Link C8 isn't specifically mentioned, but it's worth a query.

Thanks sweeks. DeraileurHanger tells me that it is not a hanger, but a b-link. The Tern Link C8 has an integrated derailleur hanger, although this seems to be splitting hairs if a b-link is needed. I still have no idea where to get a b-link.

The b-link is part of the rear derailleur. You need to buy a new rear derailleur to get a new b-link.

My experience with Terns is limited to those with internally-geared hubs, I'm afraid. I know some people at Tern, and have contacted them about this part. As soon as I hear back from them I will post what I hope will be useful information.

EDIT: I see HERE that there is a hanger that allows you to fit a "standard" derailleur to a Tern frame. If you have to replace the derailleur anyway () this might be something to consider. Still waiting to hear back on my query.

The RD hanger you linked is for using standard type RDs on bikes that originally came with Neos type RDs. The Tourney RD that the Tern Link C8 comes with is a standard type already, so this hanger is of no use unfortunately. You can see in the photo below that the "hanger" of the Tern Link C8 is part of the frame itself, not a separately piece like it is on higher end bikes. The piece the OP is showing us in the first post is just the part of the RD that attaches to that "hanger" (its not actually a B-link either). That's why I suggested the OP buy a new RD.

Well, as I said, I have no experience with Tern derailleur-based drivetrains. Thanks for pointing this out. I will post any news I get back from my Tern contacts.

Thanks kabuto and sweeks. I was looking for a spare "hanger" since I did not want to go on an 800km tour and damage the connection between frame and derailleur without having a replacement. It looks like my only option, in the event of an accident, would be to buy a new derailleur. With a Tern in the middle of nowhere this could take a month. It looks like I need to take the risk that the "hanger" will not get damaged.
