Hello Ian Ben's shop is fantastic, we are very lucky to have such a good shop in Glasgow. I go there to try out weird bikes, he as plenty of them! But being...
Hopefully Velovision can get hold of a set for review. it would be interesting to see if the shocks work well in the birdy geometry. They certainly look bling!...
I have been trying to come up with a great touring bicycle that I can take traveling on planes, trains, etc. and I think that I would love the birdy....
"Hmmmmm" ........... I remember a story about Markus the "R" of R-M moving his entire apartment on a Birdy some years ago.....I don't know if it is true but...
The only concern I would have is a mono-wheel trailer like your Bob putting some twisting strain on the Birdy's swing arm pivot. (I think.. I could be wrong)...
... Yes, you are wrong ... r-m says it is possible to pull a trailer with your Birdy - but only two wheeled trailers. They recommend the the "E type" hitch...
thanks for the reply Peter! Instead of the 3x8, would I just be able to swap out my rear cassette with another having some lower gears. I do not mind having an...
Cost versus performance etc ........... The Sram 3x8, 24 speed is the best option as an all round Tour and City commuter bike in the Birdy Line-up The...
The Schlumpf gears are far from a kludge, although they may not be quite as refined as a Rohloff Speedhub. The extension of gearing range is dramatic. The only...
Hi, My wife uses a 39T chainring and an 8sp 11-34 Megarange cassette. This provides low enough gears for hill-climbing with a touring load, but it does limit...

I am about to modify my Capreo Cassette so that it has a 34 tooth gear for climbing hills and was told that I would also need to switch to a long cage rear...
Jon, I've similarly modified a Capreo cassette with a 32 tooth bottom gear. I didn't need to change the standard derailleur that was on my Birdy Silver, a SRAM...
Peter, Did you do the cassette work yourself? Any reason you went with a 32 tooth, rather then going all the way to a 34? After I modify the cassette I may ...
I recommend the Crank Bros. plastic (not the one with the guage) pump. It is VERY small and light (98 gm as I recall!). It has two settings for volume of...
