Nice detail!Rasta,
Although this would be good for ground clearance, there are two problems with it.
I don't think you can fit a 30T ring on a standard 104mm 4-bolt crank.
You would be outside the recommended 2:1 input ratio for the Alfine, and would be more likely to break it.
Edit: Homebrewed components makes a 31T. That's the smallest I've seen.

Profile cranks or similar(BMX).
I sent an email to Rob and you are right. It's not good for the Alfine hub.
It wouldn't help with ground clearance though. The frame is lower than the chainring.
Rob said the only safe way to get lower gearing is a rear cog. He runs a 35T on the carbon AM and he said its about perfect for climbing but the top end would never work on a DH bike.
I think I'll just try a 23T rear cog and call it good. I just wanna pedal up a few trails to get some DH. If the climbs are very long Ill just use my AM bike.

I ride my 23tooth when everyone else on stock DH bike gearing are walking.
2 teeth on the rear is lower than 2 teeth less on the front. Nearly twice as low I think.

Custom clear plastic mud guard to keep crap out of the gearbox area.
Next I'd like to find a tidier way to attach it. Maybe velcro.
Abrasive waterjet is a handy tool.

Zelvy is working on a carbon/Kevlar cover for the Alfine.
I made one out of plastic for muddy days.
Yes, we will have a guard in the new year for the alfine.

Can I steal that pic Philliam?
Sure. Use it as you wish.
Hey you never asked me.

Zerode have found a way to replace the Shimano gripshift for their Alfine:
They come with an ALFINE trigger shifter which shifts backwards from other trigger shifters and also a little thick making lever set-up tricky.
hm on the fb site it says the new ones come all with the x9 now?
The frame that came through had the adapter for X9. So they may be doing the X9 now instead of the Alfine.
Installed the 23T cog on my Zerode. I took the spring off and cycled it through the travel. I didn't lengthen the chain and it looks about perfect. At full bottom, the chain still had enough length on the tensioner. The gearing seems about perfect for riding up a gravel road to get to the trails.

Not everyone lives next to a resort or has shuttlable trails.
that's why yahweh created all-mountain bikes.
that said, the rohloff on the lahar has xc-worthy wall climbing low end range (not that it compels me to ride up hills on the beast); if a trailbike zerode emerges, i'd love to see it built around a rohloff. wrapped in carbon, of course.

Thats why I have a 33 lb Intense SS.
Some trails we shuttle have very short climbs (10min) for super long DH (45min). It's worth it to take the DH bike.
Got my SRAM 9 speed X9 shifter ready to go, and the conversion part on order from the Canadian rep. Stoked.
real Weapon, the new invert sram x9 shifter works super smooth.
