Wanted Alfine 8 26er

[KermitGKona88]

I can get 28 wheels with alfine for chip money but unfortunately I'm not able to build up a wheel from scratch for every day use yet, I'm still learning.

Can you not fit them in the frame as is?

I don't want to end up running skinny tyres, only reason why I'm reluctant

Looking for a 26 inch wheel with an alfine 8 hub

Must be shipped to Denmark, either by chucking the parcel into the northsea and praying or a legitimate courier.

Thank yooooou

Does the wheel need a braking track?

Does the wheel need a braking track?

I forgot to add that it should be able to accommodate disc rotors. No rim brakes

Do you have an alfine hub wheel laying about?

 

[nicklej]

Not right now. I have a customer whos running one laced into a mavic rim with rim brakes but he is thinking of upgrading to a rohloff hub. If he doesn't want the wheel when he upgrades it just means i could offer a cheap alfine 8 hub at least

I have a few, built up kept as spares for my alfine bikes, no idea how good they are and shipping to EU now is a nightmare before even thinking what the cost would be

Well, as of now I can get a new rear wheel, 26, 8 speed alfine for about 270 euro. Question is if it'd end up being more expensive from the UK. How much would you want?
