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.
I ran a 349 rim on the rear of my mk1 Birdy Blue easily when my LBS couldn’t get hold of a replacement 355 one in time. I had Magura hydraulic rim brakes but the adjustment needed to do so was minimal. I see no reason why V’s won’t work.
