Four questions:
1. Lighting – does Rohloff Birdy come with lighting standard ? And if so is it dynamo front hub like son?
2. If bought by non- UK resident would we get VAT refund?
3. What ortlieb pack is recommended for rear rack?
4. I have a Moulton Rohloff TSR – excellent – and has done about 30,000 km, one weakness has been the ‘shim’ connecting rear triangle to main frame which developed wear. Is this an issue with Birdy?
1. Yes, using a SP hub dynamo.
2. Yes, I can take off the VAT.
3. It will take most panniers and top bags – the largest panniers don’t work very well if you have big feet, they get a bit close to your heels.
4. The suspension bushings do wear out eventually, as all things do, but Birdy ones seem to last a long time – 10 years or so at least – and are easy to replace.
