In these short days of winter, I find myself in need of a battery- powered front white light for my Birdy. I've heard there are some new LED designs that take...

I bought a CatEye EL-100 when it came out and used it more than a month (currently I am waiting airless tire inserts from American Airless - my Birdy is out of...
Dear G, Yes, the trend now is either Halogen (VERY VERY bright) with a largish battery (in a bottle cage in many instances), or using multiple LED's. You will...
Dear J., That "shaking light" is a FANTASTIC idea for a bike/jogger/etc. If it is not too big/heavy, I think it would be a BIG success. Bob ... From: Ji-Yeong...
I recently came very close to wiping myself out on my Birdy. Luckily the steering stem came off in my hands as I was climbing a steep twisting section of...

Dear Neil, I totally agree that this is a VERY serious failure that should NOT happen to anyone. However, I must take issue with your assertion that ... ...
Hi J.Kim I'm Chop! The guy with the Rohloff Birdy If the modifications that we made are beyond you, there are 2 other ways you could change your braking system...
... There is an intermediate solution: use brake pads that are less abrasive to the rim. They usually wear faster, but that's still a lot cheaper and safer...
I think this kind of failure depends on how the bike is used. I had same trouble with my old heavily modified Dahon E403. I commuted by my foldables for more...
Thank you, Chop and Carsten, I think I have to find information about both the cable operated disc brakes and Maguras. By the way, Chop, do you have any...
... I would assume that the problem has actually been solved since R&M now gives a 25-year warranty on the frame. AFAIK, the warranty for frames produced from...

Thanks Beat for the suggestion! I e-mailed R&M today & Peter Horsch replied to say that they would indeed replace the broken part on warranty. Safe Riding in...

Bob, I bought my Birdy in 2000, but if I'd bought a TUV'd car & the steering wheel came off in my hand I'd feel the same. Anyway yesterday I went to Avon...
