Did you have to adapt the brake mount in any way to use ETRTO 349 on the Birdy? Special low-profile brake shoes?
My older Birdy BD-1 could do with some new wheels but ETRTO 355 is well nigh impossible to find in the US. It seems ETRTO 349 would just barely fit, considering the location of the brake mounts. The brake pads are now midway in the slot and there's just about 6mm of slot available to slide the brake shoe lower down.
