Hi all Having just upgraded to a 9 speed Birdy, I graciously allowed my partner to ride my old 7 speed. It was very bouncy when he rode it (visibly so) and ...

Thanks Bob - It does look from http://www.birdy.com.au/suspension%20page.pdf that the best option would be to switch the rear elastomer to green (currently has...
Well, I finally had a chance to take my Burley/Birdy (vintage late 2000) for a cold, urban ride and now I'm really looking forward to riding more miles on it....
