The elastomer on my Birdy elox exploded (well, crumble-exploded) the other day (makes for some dangerous handling in traffic). My LBS no longer supports the...
The fork assembly on my 2001 Birdy has developed a crack where the fork attaches to the Aheadset. Does anyone know: - who can supply a new one (UK preferably)?...
Hi, I just got my Birdy (used from ebay) and so I'm new to the Birdy world. When folded, the chain nearly falls off - it's completely loose on the bottom and...
If you would like less slack try shifting to a larger sprocket (rear tooth ring) before folding. You could experiment to find the best one. You could also...
I hear the Birdy monocoque is actually heavier than the Birdy Classic. I also hear that the wheels on the monocoque are 18". Aren't the wheels only 16" on the...
... The classic Birdy had 18" (355), too. There is no difference. The classic Frog hat 12", the monocoque Frog has 16". Peter -- Peter de Leuw Rellingen ...
Thanks for the suggestions. I tried the largest sprocket and it still looks suspect to me. Perhaps your idea of removing links from the chain is warranted....
Hi David, Thanks for pointing that thing out. As (bad) luck would have it, I was out test riding the bike today and the chain hook device did something...
Steve, Your pictures seem unavailable. The Chain Tensioner (the actual name for the "chain hook device" you speak of) should be fastened down tight and should...
Bob, Thanks for the tip. For some reason the links to the pics were mangled in posting (with white spaces added in between some of the words in the link). See...
I have just bought a Birdy City on Ebay and am happy with it. However it has the fixed length stem and it's a bit short for me (I'm 6'1"). I can't find...
It looks like the chain tensioner thingy is moving relative to the mech. This isn't right. The screw holding it on must be loose. You know you should be...
I know this is an old question, but I thought I'd pop some pictures of my solution on here as I'm sure it's something everyone faces with a new Birdy, and I...
If you're 6'1" I'd suggest the all-round adjustable stem rather than the comfort one, unless you like banging your knees on the handlebars! :D I'm 6" and...
David, Thanks for taking the time to snap those shots & post them. I believe my chain tensioner must be too loose, as you suggest. I'll fasten it down tighter....
This is what I use (mounted facing in FRONT of head tube it doesn't interfere with folding, and allows a small handlebar bag on the other side (rear) of the...
You could try some (don't get cheap plastic kind !!!) folding pedals. They make the multi-modal much easier. Bob ... From: S.L. To: birdybike@yahoogroups.com ...
There are two Birdys on Craiglist in Eugene, Oregon. Details at http://eugene.craigslist.org/bik/1841578851.html These are my bikes; I got some of the...
Just for a data point - I paid $1000 for my used (good condition) birdy 24 speed 'classic' frame (2008 model I think) two weeks ago on ebay. Perhaps I...
Does anyone own the folding Riese und Muller "Frog" with 16 inch wheels? I would be interested in hearing impressions of this mini-Birdy. Â Does anyone own...
No, but I just saw a brand new pink one in the Y's Ueno shop in Tokyo yesterday. Internal hub gears, chunky tyres and nice really small folding size. I loved...
