Whatever you tried to post, it did not not get through to either Lemmy or Mastodon for me. Just the title and the !micromobility@lemmy.world tag.

Thank you very much. Apparently something went wrong while cross posting.

I added the link to the article.

Oh man I need that. I wonder whether this could be retrofitted onto a 6-speed 2022 C-line?

Not 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.

There is a new video by Brompton explaining the new system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYJaYKygF0s
