Update!
So I spent last two weeks trying to make the bloody Alfne shift with even bloodier Gevenalle shifter. After I took it across the city to the apparent IGH top dog mechanic round my parts, it finally worked.
Loaded like pictured, with full water bottles and my usual work bag, it weights and rides like a tank, but I love it - all I can hear is the tires against the ground :) Alfine shifts pretty crisp, apart maybe from 4 < - > 5 shifts, which have the longest pull, and I don't put the lever all the way across. Happy with my new CX77 brakes as well, surprisingly, stop much better than BB7s, but maybe it was just a setup issue.
