Whatever you tried to post, it did not not get through to either Lemmy or Mastodon for me. Just the title and the [email protected] 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
