So you're saying that with no cable tension at all, gears 7-8 are unavailable?
  • 1. If you at some point adjusted the H/L screws - try adjusting them back to their original setting.
  • 2. If you didn't adjust the H/L screws, then your derailleur hanger may be bent. If you look at the bike from the back you might be able to see this. I forget if the Birdy has a separate hanger, or if it's part of the frame. Aluminium doesn't like bending, so be very careful.
