Last night while riding home on my Birdy (Burly 2000 model) the brakes failed to stop the bike and I hit the rear bumper of a stopped car at about 15 mph. The...
Hi Rod, we, my wife and me, have two Birdy Blue from 2001. I changed some minor things on these bikes, but the first major change I made was replacing the...
I second Peter: Magura is the obvious choice for a powerful and trouble-free rim brake. The HS33 lever has a smaller bore, hence is more powerful than HS11. I...
