A Birdy III with the H&H Brompton front block adapter. The adapter is strong enough to avoid any risk that the block moves down.
You can use any Brompton easy wheel with a M6 bolt on the Birdy. The only thing you must care is to check that you can still attach rear pannier far enough rear to avoid to touch the pannier with the heel of your foot.
Well in any case maybe what i said was wrong but the H&H Brompton block adapter will cause the front suspension clip to move down.
I am just telling you that there is a risk. I cant post the video as i am a new to the forum.
I can show you the video if you are interested.
My friend got injured while cycling and had to remove that adapter.
If you look at your front block and move it towards the clip you will see that the bottom part does hit the clip.
Now imagine if that happen when you are cycling it would be painful to say the least.
Secondly why are you using a Brompton easy wheel when there are so many other version out there in the market.
Easy Wheel and Rear Rack, Do you not know about them that why you are using the brompton version ?
In case you are wondering I am from Singapore and I used to own a b3 disc version but have sold it off and now am using a P40.
