Does that work on a twist style shifter?its an OK design, but IMO this guy has it beat to take out the der forever. he beat me to it, by a long ways. its a great design for sure.

Brakes in a box...doesn't sound like it would cool very well.Meh, old news for sure.
there's a guys around here who's gone one better and built the rear brake into it all.... an on board rear brake to REALLY reduce unsprung weight.
Shame Honda's out, but great to have had them involved at all.
uhh..i want a grip shift. i think though i might be the only one using it.no, i am working with the alfine hub this year. its "availible", uses a
triger shifter, no DHer wants a grip shift. and affordable. that is THE
only way we will start to see the masses use gearbox's
Well then, you must be evil, and therefore we must now disdain you and your twist shifting ways.uhh..i want a grip shift. i think though i might be the only one using it.
i havent stopped using grip shift since '96 and wont change
haha. i wish i still had some Biopace stuff, that stuff is a classic f-up design.Well then, you must be evil, and therefore we must now disdain you and your twist shifting ways.
(Really - whats up with that? Do you have Biopace rings too?)
trader(though if there was a trigger out there, i'd probably be running one).
yea well, you're also a spaz. keep your gripsh!ts you wanker.uhh..i want a grip shift. i think though i might be the only one using it.

I still like grip shift because you can keep your thumbs on the bar as you shift. The problem is most of my DH rigs came with thumb and I'm too cheap and lazy to switch them back to grip.uhh..i want a grip shift. i think though i might be the only one using it.

I've got one on my commuter. Sees daily action in all weather. 24km each way. So far (6 months?) it's been AWESOME. Perfect shifts, quiet, maintenance free. Weight is around 1500g, I think. It's on shimano website.Anyone tried the Alfine Shimanno hub yet? How heavy is it?
yeah i think i mighta meant traitor...i done gone and f-ed upTrader? Trade for what?
I'll give you a bob ross painting for a pete speed system.
dirty cali hippieyea well, you're also a spaz. keep your gripsh!ts you wanker.
yea, i was thinking about 3rd chain to speed up the cassette for shifting. but it seems like its not needed from honda.
alfine, is that a shimano gearbox? and trigger shifter? wow, i didn't know about that.
could you post some pics of your prototype? was it used on a bike too?
working on it. should be a rad bike.Go BCD! Bring back the Nexus/Vite/Alfine!
The cool Alfine-specific cogs with the built-in plastic chain guides are only available in 18 or 20 tooth. They also have a little offset and do not have the same chainline as a flat cog.alfine is shimano rear 8 speed hub. it has the effective range of a
12-38 with the use of a 20t sprocket. i have a 16 input so its output
will be more like a effective 10-30, that enables me to run a 34t at
the cranks for clearance and still get an over all ratio of 3.4-1 the
same as a 38-11.
i have a 16 from a nexus i am guessing is the same spline. its offsetThe cool Alfine-specific cogs with the built-in plastic chain guides are only available in 18 or 20 tooth. They also have a little offset and do not have the same chainline as a flat cog.
Yep, same spline. That should work. How are you going to tension the primary chain? I'm not sure about the sliding bolt-in bb setup you were drawing. KISS. Maybe just an adjustable pulley, or use SRS/LG boomerang rotated around until it tensions the chain.i have a 16 from a nexus i am guessing is the same spline. its offset
too. i should not need the guide with no tensioner. 16 is important to
me. its gained ground clearance and doesn't load the hub with a 1-1
to the rear.
