  1. @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"

  2. Finally converted my fixie to a singlespeed with a coaster brake!

    These hubs are so unpopular, that I had to order one from the Netherlands πŸ˜„

    I used to ride such bikes as a teenager, and missed the simplicity of it. So far so good, am adjusting to the bike, but the rides got noticeably less intense.

  3. After three+ months of daily use and about 2000km, I finally remembered to take some pictures of my most recent build, a #Surly PackRat frame I built up as a #commuter with a #SturmeyArcher #3speed hub in back, generator hub up front, porteur rack (with a Swift Polaris bag) and some weirdo CrMo #Nitto handlebars.
