looking for a good quality 29'' hubed rear wheel. rohloff would be vaguely exciting, alfine 11 would be perfect, alfine 8 would suffice.

anyone?

Having owned an Alfine 11 perfect is not a word is have used to describe it. Bag of sub standard that needs adjusting ever 10 miles would be the polite version.

But if you want a versa 11 speed drop bar shifter to go with it do let me know.

Ian, is it your old Singular Swift w.Alfine 11 I brought from Barney (used to be BRIGHT orange)? I maybe haven't given it as much riding as maybe you did but so far it's been running fine. Weird

The one on the lad's 26er is also running fine. Admittedly light-ish use with an occasionally cycling 11 year old.

Tony,
Ive got a recently serviced Alfine 11sp. complete with rapid fire style shifter, cable, anti turn washers, cassette joint and a selection of sprockets.
Silver and 32 hole. It is currently not in a wheel although could build it into a rim for you if you wish.
Give us a shout, fella!
Adam.

Not that one no. Mine was one of the first and was on a bike which had poor cable routing. I think that was part of the problem.

Hi Ton

If you're still looking, I've an Alfine 11, black / Stans ZTR Arch 29". Shifter, various washers to fit most dropout configs. Around five years old, but not a massive number of miles on it.

Best
