minus-squareMaxMalRichtig@discuss.tchncs.deOPMlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·10 months agoNot easily. They are using a new rear triangle and I think a different design variant of the BWR hub. So I would guess you would need: New wheel with new hub & 4 sprockets New derailleur (4 speed) 4 speed shifter New rear triangle (“Advanced rear triangle”) It sounds a little difficult and costly, but generally doable.
