Title: Shimano Alfine 11
Post by: PH on February 06, 2010, 04:02:44 PM

This is doing the rounds on other forums, so many of you will already have seen it.
Shimano have a new Alfine hub out shortly, 11 speed, 410% range, oil bath, £300 - £400, 1600g, looks good.

The review says 17 - 18% gaps, but I think that's wrong, the sums don't add up.

Two gaps of 17% and eight of 13%
