The 160E is fully compatible with SRAM drivetrains. There are a couple of things to keep in mind. 1) You will need to use the stock Shimano chainring spider that comes on the bike. This part is designed to interface with the EP8 drive unit spindle and all you will have to do is remove the chainring bolts and replace the chainring with a SRAM 104 BCD 34 tooth chainring. The 160E is only compatible with 34 tooth chainrings. 2) The crankarms will not need to be replaced but we de recommend replacing the complete drivetrain, including derailleur, shifter, cassette, chain, and chainring. Mixing components may cause undesirable shifting performance. |
