    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!!

    I think someone here has had their hub serviced in Cycleways.

    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.
