It was good to get out and feel ...

Re: WTD: Alfine back wheel

I've got one (mavic 19mm rim, 8 speed, shifter, lots of fitting bits) but it was slipping in gear 4/5 last time I used it. I took it off to go back to SS and was planning to service it to fix/sort it out. Haven't got round it yet, it's just another job to get to I'd sell it like that for a good pri...
