Hello,

I got a second-hand gen3 City from 2021 in pretty good condition, and have a few questions:

1. To replace the old solution Birdy used, what chain tensioner should I get? Are there cheaper alternatives to Pacific Cycles' that are just as good?

2. Since I'll be using that bike mostly for touring, I'd like to replace the Nexus 8 with a Sturmey-Archer CS-RK3 hybrid hub like Pacific Cycles did after SRAM stopped making its DualDrive… but couldn't find pictures on the Net on how/where they stuck the housing stop. Does someone know?

3. The SP SD-8 dynamo shows a lot of friction — the wheels stop spinning after just a few seconds. Since I very rarely ride at night anyway, I'm thinking of ditching it and installing a plain hub. Is it possible?

4. Since I use an Ortlieb Rack-Pack bag instead of panniers, I'd like to replace the Expedition rack with a low-rise rack like Birdy used to sell. And still be able to easily roll the bike folded. What are the options today?

5. For some reason, the two wires that power the rear light are unstuck. What's the clean way to fix it?

6. I weigh about 77kg/170lbs: Should I replace the front (it's pretty soft), and rear (pretty hard) suspensions?

Thank you.
