New folding stem onto old MK1 Birdy?
Hi guys
Unfortunately I can't get to local bike shops at the moment. Nonetheless, I'm rescuing a Mk1 Birdy blue and have sourced a newer model folding stem (black). I was told it should fit the old models? I'm hesitant to do it myself as I feel that it needs a headset press. Also I don't know if I need a specific low-stack headset as it seems the new design to the stem incorporates a headset race/ top cap actually on the stem? Does anyone know of Birdy or perhaps Brompton specialists in North West UK (Lancaster/Preston/Lakes area?)? I bought the parts from Cycle Heaven in York but I don't really want to take it all the way over there. Any pointers on how to install would be great. Thanks Jack
