@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] A7: I don't know how picky this is, but I switched from an 11-speed cassette to the current 12-speed one. The old cassette had 23/25/27/30/34T towards the big end. The new one has 24/28/32/36T. Yes, 36T is nice, but the wider, uneven gaps and one fewer cog drove me crazy for a few weeks. I'm more or less used to it now, but it sure took me a while.

A big fuck you to #Canyon, #Bicycle manufacturer AND #Shimano.
Canyon, for fancy ass 3 part headlight integrated handlebars on Commuter. It's fuckin' impossible to disassemble it after some without inducing blunt force trauma...
Shimano, for non-opening clamps on #Alfine trigger shifters...
Had to take the grip off, take right handlebar off, take brake caliper off without breaking the line. Then had to pull out right handlebar which at this point has welded itself to the stem...
FUUUUCK!

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.

@YakyuNightOwl @ai6yr I recall someone asking on a bike forum whether the #Shimano #Alfine hubs last as long as #SturmeyArcher ones and the answer was basically "we don't know yet. Alfine has only been out 20 years and there are plenty of Sturmeys from the 1930s still going"

I am so proud of myself. The #Enviolo hub gears in my cargo bike gave up (it is ok, it was rated for 20k km, I did around 25) and I managed to set up myself a new wheel with #shimano #alfine 8 gears internal hub. By far the most ambitious #bikeRepair I ever did. Just rode fist 10 km with it, nothing exploded, I am super happy with the change.
