As someone who used to mountain bike with SPDs everywhere, I am now considering going clipless on my Birdy. Initially, I was reluctant to change pedals due to...
From what you've said, Matt, there's one obvious solution - the Shimano (or other make) pedal that has SPD on one side only. That way, you have all the ...
Thanks, Ian. I did mull over the idea of a single-sided SPD and the 324 was a contender (as was the new and far lighter Shimano A520), but I think I will stick...
I've got the M324s on my Birdy. They are not bad. The flat side is useful and quite grippy in traffic. The SPD side is not as good as others I've used. The...
Thanks, Tom. The single-sided pedal strikes me as a compromise that may suit some, but not me. I upgraded my brakes to XTR (levers and calipers) and found them...
Horses for courses, naturally, but the other advantage of 324-type pedals is that you aren't completely committed to having to use cleated shoes. If I find...

I removed the rear swingarm pivot axle from my red Birdy. It had more damage than either of the others. The grease was rusty brown. The right bearing was...
I have had my Birdy Blue for some time now and find it vey satisfactory except that it is very much overgeared for my purposes. Is there available a...
Sure there is. 52 and 53 teeth in 130 mm bolt circle diameter are standard outer size for non-Campagnolo road racing bikes at least since mid-eighties. 53...
Many thanks for swift and comprehensive reply to my query. As you say, it might be better and cheaper to change the cassette regards Frank carsten_thies...

Hi Bob, Welcome. I moderate this group and have also been at Brompton Talk for quite a while, so you may have seen me there. Did you order the 20" wheel drop...
I also removed the axle from my 2002 Rohloff Birdy and found it very awful. After four years of harsh riding the grease was all dried up and caked, and the...
Do you have any idea what mod's were necessary to fit the 20" wheels ? I'm presuming they didn't put together a special one-off frame. Another Bob ... From:...
... Matt I'm on a similar search for my on-order '10 Years'. Part of my requirement is to be able to walk across a shiny train station concourse without going...

I would assume that the 10 year special is exactly that. A special frame run, re configured for 405 size wheels. My guess is based on the fact that Steve Parry...
I have lubricated the rear Sachs hub, but a graunching noise is still there whenever I freewheel. So ,for a quiet life, I keep pedalling. Any suggestions as to...
... I'm afraid it is not very much reconfigured. Into any new Birdy frame, you can fit 406 wheels with narrow tires. As far as I can tell, putting my 10 years...
