Inbred 853 Alfine 11

Finally cobbled it together today, raided the parts bin but its pretty close to how it'll end up.
Running 32/20, may take it up to 32/22, interesting to see how the hub will hold up. Ive heard good things so far about them handling the torque.

Nice. Would love to try an Alfine hub

back from first try out, bike handles superbly - very happy there.

climbing a bit more testing than im used to, probably the slacker head angle, but still got up everything.

hub - happy with it 50% of the time, otherwise im either backing of the power to engage the selected gear (especially when changing up), or its feeling a bit 'squishy'.
Interestingly, more squishy than my old 8sp alfine.

Will be taking it for a proper ride out tomorrow around Swinley so will give me more of a chance to get used to the hub - otherwise itll be relegated to winter hack use, or back up for sale whilst the inbred goes s/s!
