  1. Back in 2017 I bought a #Surly #Straggler frameset. My plan was to lace a #Shimano #Alfine 11 speed #internalGearHub, and combine it with an #FSA Metropolis two-speed internal gear crank. I bought the components, I even got these cool #Jtek barend shifters. But then I lost steam and never put them together. It's just been sitting in my garage ever since.

  2. Mal was in eigener Sache: Vermutlich am Wochenende zwischen 27. und 29.9.24 wurde in #Kiel um den #Blücherplatz ein mit einem Faltschloss am Metallzaun festgeschlossenes älteres #Stevens #Roadflyer in blau-grau-metallic #gestohlen. Mit #Alfine 8Gang-Nabe, #SON-Frontleuchte in Schwarz, #Brooks Cambium in rötlich. Anzeige geht noch raus. Hinweise gerne an mich falls es wer irgendwo sieht 🙏 . Das Rad ist von 2007, aber war mir noch viel wert. Im Gegensatz zum Photo sind aktuell ein schwarzes 1fach Alfine-Kettenblatt, kantige schwarze SKS-Schutzbleche, eine toplight-flat-plus-Rückleuchte, eine messingfarbene Brave Copenhagen-Klingel, und ein Brooks-Cambium (d.h. kein Leder-) Sattel verbaut. #Fahrraddiebstahl #Treckingrad

  3. I do have a gear shift sensor for the motor that briefly turns off motor power when I shift. I've heard mixed reviews about the #Alfine 8 - people saying they've ridden it thousands of km with #bafang mid-drive motors, others saying they killed it. But one of the cargo bikes I bought has a bafang mid-drive (#BBSHD, so more power/torque than the #BBS02) and a dead #Enviolo hub (N330, so not the burlier Enviolo Heavy Duty hub that I'd likely get).

    Curious to hear from anyone who uses both hubs.

  4. @RobertJ Sounds like a great package! A true #lowmaintenance #bullitt! ☺️ Your reply came timely too. Just today I was put on the #waitinglist for a #bogbi #framekit (yay, I still can't believe it!). An #alfine or #rohloff #gates Bogbi has been pedaling around my head all day. 😝
