Ok, I'm definitely aiming to do this.
The Scott has an 8-speed Sora with triple Ritchey chainring. The intention is to use the bars, levers, and shifters, if possible, from an 8-speed Altus hybrid. And to switch to the Altus triple chainring or get the matching Sora. Both are 48-38-28 compared to the Ritchey's 52-42-30.
As far as I can see, the fd shifter should be fine, the Rd shifter might be ok, and a big question mark is on the brake levers, although apart from different cables, I don't see why they can't be made to work.
As the Scott is really a bit big for me, I'm hoping the fit can still be made, as I understand the reach will decrease.
I'd appreciate any and all comments.
