The Alfine has DD in gear 5, which is much more useful for everyday riding.
Is that on Alfine 11?
On the 8 speed Alfine and Nexus you set cable tension in 4th and I thought that was where DD was, I don't like it though, 4th feel draggier than the rest of the gears on the Nexus 8 I have now and the Alfine 8 I had previously.
Alfine 8. Next time you ride, have a feel between 4 and 5. 4 runs through 2 gearsets and so is one of the worst. Sheldon (and Brandt) have plenty of info on the IGHs.
