Service Shim. Alfine 8 hub?

Planet X · 2011-01-04 18:04:10

Does anyone know of a bike shop that will undertake servicing a hub gear like above. Bit of a specialized dark art I imagine? Dublin. JD's do that sort of work? There's this but eh, not going to try that EVER!! http://www.hubstripping.com/shimano-alfine/alfine-strip/index.html

I certainly had a Nexus 8 done in Cycleways, and another user - ArchitectDublin - did the same with good results. See previous thread here.

I don't know anything about the Alfine, but it doesn't look all that different from the Nexus. It might be worth your while downloading the relevant Shimano manuals and having a look yourself- could be a fairly minor problem.
