My Alfine started slipping in most gears except 1 & 5. I tried all the usual cable adjustment etc.
but nothing helped. I thought maybe its time for a service so opened it up and turns out
the retainer ring for the roller clutch has deformed, some of the rollers kept falling out.
I converted the bike to SLX and by god is the bike fast now. It's amazing how it comes alive
once you remove all the drag and over 700g from the rear wheel.
Shifting isn't as nice though.
