Title: Alfine 11 speed hub

Does anyone know if an Alfine 11 speed hub will fit in the Raven type drop outs?

best regards
paul

Paul,

I don't have one of either at hand to try, but I believe they will fit the same dropouts. I'm not sure about differences in how the torque-reaction arm/tab is secured.

However, as I recall, the cabling for the Alfine is on the right side, while the Rohloff is on the left, so that might be problematic if it proves true.

Sorry I can't be of more definitive help, but perhaps this will help a bit.

Best,

Dan.

It does fit, bought a wheel with an Alfine 11 speed hub from a German e bay shop.
Came with a full fitting kit.
Took an hour to fit and went for a 30 mile ride. Will now donate to my wife.

Now I am going to put my Rohlof into my new (second hand) frame after it is resprayed.
