I have little experience of derailleur gears, having only ever owned bikes with in-hub-gearing (IHG). The only derailleur exceptions were whilst testing various brands and models after a 35-year...

I've been considering the same switch for my Birdy. The Promenade Exy is just a bit too small for me, I ride in street shoes, and the fitting of the yellow plastic clip rather fiddling when it's cold...

I didn't have blue Loctite available at the time, but the bike is due for the first service next week, so I'll get it checked over and done then.
