Some issues with this if anyone can advise ?
1) the chain seem too short, as it locks in low gear (due to excess chain tension?0
2) seems to be some lateral play in rear pivot, adjust this out??
3) chain guard catchs on rear frame when folding unless done very slowly it bounce off it. Bottom bracket alignment? or remove doulbe chain ring guard ?
4) chain comes of when folding at front chain wheel despite double guard.
5) bit of play in front stem that cant seem to get rid of by tightening bolt, ie it does not tighten any more, and tryed putting washers behind it to space out.

General question do birdies with IHG and chain tensoner fold better than birdie with dyraillers? If so I might get a IHG wheel built up for it
