Does anyone happen to know whether the 2019 Haibike trekking models with the (I believe) 16 tooth cog on a Bosch performance CX motor, need the rather expensive custom Haibike cog, or can these models use a much cheaper generic 'flat' (with no offset) version that you can get for around a tenner? (as opposed to 6-10 times the price for the haibike part! and that's if you can get stock!!)

I know there are some Haibikes that need a 5mm offset, but I've seen people mention this is used for boost spacing? I don't think the trekking models would have boost?

TIA
