I've had some pretty bad slips as well, lads at work have dealt with loads of alfine and nexus as we're a gazelle dealer, they reckon it's the shifter as it's not as accurate / well indexed as a rapid fire is and the hubs are very sensitive to cable pull..:

Hmmm. Maybe I'd be better with a rapid fire then. I had the rapid fire when I had the alfine before and liked it.

SL503 rather than the SL7000 right? SL7000 will have the numbers the wrong way around? Shouldn't be any other difference though should there?
Edit: Nevermind, looked at the Sheldon crib sheet and the pull is all different on the 'cable at the top' models. SL503 it is.

Not that I'd attributed to the shifter, I've had a few grindy/clunky moments but put it all down to the Nexus not being quite as good as the Alfine.
You think it might be the shifter?
