Hi Peter, I don't often visit Yahoo because for me it's a painfully slow process. I've tried several times in the last few weeks but couldn't connect to Yahoo....
I have a 7 speed Birdy Red. Recently I noticed uneven braking which I then determined was because the front brake was gripping more at a certain point every...
Dear Andy, I sounds as though you've found the places where the rims are joined. Bike rims are made in a spiral, then cut, drilled and pinned together. I had...
Whether it is a problem with the manufactured joint or a developing crack, you should have this checked by a competent bicycle mechanic. Having a wheel fall...
Thankyou for the responses from Alistair and Bob. I also thought that it must be the manufacturers joint due to the straightness of the crack and it being in...
A defect in a folder wheel is not unique. The mechanic doesn't have to be a folder specialist. The rim CAN fail at the straight manufactured joint, so don't...

Hi Andy, I have the same defect on my 28 inch big bike. I bought it 1998. I ignored it then and thought it would get better due to using the brakes over a ...
I finally got around to swapping my (broken) comfort stem for the standard stem another kind list-member had supplied earlier in the week. The simpler design...
Looking for opinions: What are the best brake blocks for a Birdy? My new Birdy (6 months old) needs new brake blocks already (hilly commute, wet weather). Any...
Hi, KoolStop Salmon coloured pads work very well and they don't seem to be as damaging to the rim as other pads. The curved BMX pad fits smaller rims very...
Dear All, I've been considering the same problem. At present I'm using Aztec, and they seem fine. I had trouble trying to fit a pair of very long pads...

I'm using Avid Rim Wrangler refills, which seem good. I've also used KoolStops. They had a little sticking-out bit on the rear end of each pad, I think it was...
Hi Martin, ... groups.yahoo.com seems to be very different from de.groups.yahoo.com. Perhaps I should look at my settings at birdybike. But the telephone line...

Hi everyone, From some old posts, I read that adding skate wheels to the Birdy for rolling the bike while folded is possible with the expedition rack (in a...
Hi Adrian, That's a good point! Long brake pads can be difficult to adjust properly on the rear brake of a Birdy. When you operate the rear V-brake, the...
Hi Peter, Yesterday I got a Yahoo mail from dauphin_dtr-1@yahoogroups.com in the new style. Mails from that group are so rare that I'm not going to bother ...
Hello, I bought a beat up old 7 speed birdy blue a while back and I've been lurking on this group for a little while. It's nice to know there are so many other...
Hi Chris, The brake and shift cable housings on my Birdy are all about 1200mm (4') long, but I'm going to replace them with longer ones. Taller riders...
