hello Birdists I have a Rohloff Birdy and the rear sprocket has finally worn out, following a very hilly tour I did recently here in New Zealand- lots of time...
It should be fine. There is more apt to be a problem with larger wheels as for the same speed the wheel runs at lower rpm with more torque and hence higher ...
Hi Adrian, Don't know a thing about your 'input ratio" question. Just wanted to remind you that you should put on a new chain when changing to new sprockets...
hi ... I did consider that, but the chainline is different for the larger sprockets (54 mm instead of 58 mm), so I thought I'd stick with the 13T. Adrian...
There is nothing wrong with asking the Rohloff people anything. They are very nice, and patient when a discussing any aspect regarding the Rohloff hub. I had...
... You can do that with the larger sprockets, as they are symmetrical, but not with the 13T one- because it's designed to give a different chainline, it's not...
hi In case anyone else ever wonders about this, I did email the Rohloff people about it to check, and in typically thorough fashion they pointed me in the...
... Too small for what? Not for keeping upright provided you have some weight on the front wheel (e. g. Bar bag or lowrider panniers) - considering 0.75 m...
... I guess I meant 'smaller than even I would need'. More to the point, using a 32T chainring would bring the top gear down to 62" (4.95 m) which is also a...

Hi, I heard about a new website called santapixel.com. A very interesting and entertaining website. Santa Claus gives gifts in this website. You sign up for...
A very Birdy-esque folder, the Go Bike ELX-8 is being sold at the recreational boating supply chain West Marine. Though for some reason they are listing it as...
I don't think many would order a $1,000 bike with no web info/history or reviews. There is nothing more about it to be found than this: Bob "Inspired by the...
Word "on the street" Go bike is not even in production.......but even the samples a few months ago were in the mid-teens....So it is interesting to see if...
This thinking makes an awful lot of sense when you're faced with a limited (non-triple, non-Rohloff) gearing configuration on your folder. Why people worry...
"So 20 - 80 gear inches makes a lot more sense, if you can achieve that with a chainring or cogs substitution, rather than, say 40 - 100." So what's true? I...
... Agreed, and personally I've always found the Birdy gearing on the high side. Most of my other touring and commuting bikes have not had top gears above...
I don't know about a Brompton, but on a Birdy you can certainly lean forward, or honk out of the saddle over the front wheel, which will tend to keep it down....
Hi Colin, I don't know what the downhills are like around your area, but here near San Francisco they are so big that you don't need to pedal to go faster than...
I have my Birdy set up with a 1 1/2" rise handlebar mounted on the comfort stem set to its highest position, as I like a fairly upright biking posture. With...
I forgot that my Capreo goes down to a nine tooth! PS: Can someone tell me what the gear inch range is for my Birdy which has a 45 tooth chain ring and 34-11...
My Birdy has a 56T chainwheel and an 8 speed 11-34 megarange freewheel. I believe that this corresponds to an 88 - 28 gear inch range. When I bought the Birdy,...
If my calculations are right a 45T chainring with a 34-9 freewheel cluster gives 23 - 86 gear inches based on a 17.25" outer diameter tire David ... sprockets?...
Hi everyone, David is right. If you want to calculate your own gear inches, you can do so on Sheldon's website. Be sure to select 40-355 as your wheel size....
