FS: Alfine 8 speed disc wheel, shifter and rotor

Posted on
  • Taken off my pompetamine when I went SS about a year ago, sat in shed since so time to move it on. Ideal for commuting, not enough hills on my commute to justify.

    Probably done ~2-3000 miles and had an oil bath twice in this time, while a little bit of a pain to set up it was trouble free for me. Had an oil bath shortly before I stopped using it but as its been sat a while so may need a service/oil bath to run completely drag free (plenty of videos on youtube, you will hate the circlip).

    Will come with free inner tube and near dead randonneur pro 32c tire. 700c wheel, 135mm spacing (can double check if necessary).

    Also have the necessary non turn washers for horizontal dropouts (you can buy the kit if you need for vertical dropouts), the 8 speed shifter, the special cable fixing nut and a (pretty certain it's) 160mm centrelock rotor.

    See album for pictures of everything.

    £100 plus postage method of your choice or pick up from Nottingham, discounts if you don't want it all.

    I do have the matching front wheel and rotor that I could potentially be persuaded to part with for an appropriate price if it means the difference between a sale or not.

  • How much with the matching front wheel?

  • Would you want the cl rotor, shimano skewer, tyre and tube (good condition 32c randonneur pro)?

    Switching front wheel means adjusting disc brake due to different hub/rotor spacing so not keen enough to give super cheap price.

    £140 with bare front wheel £10 extra per front wheel item
    £165 with 'fully loaded' front wheel
    £175 and with a brand new 32c randonneur pro for the rear
    plus postage (I would guess ~£15 possible a little less if only rear wheel)

  • If people think the prices are particularly out let me know.

    Happy to throw in postage at these prices if that increases interest?
    £100 rear wheel, rotor, inner tube, dead tyre
    £140 + bare front wheel £10 extra per front wheel item (rotor/skewer/tyre)
    £165 with 'fully loaded' front wheel
    £175 and with a brand new 32c randonneur pro for the rear

  • Christmas bump/price drop for the rear wheel + shifter stuff, would like this gone as singlespeed has proved ample for the commute.

    £70 rear wheel, all shifter stuff inc. p&p
    Extras (rotors/tyres/front wheel) still possible for the right price.

  • @Batt is looking for something like this...

  • does this fit 120mm spacing? wanna do opposite and convert ss to geared

  • Is 135mm MTB spacing I believe. Is also a disc hub (though the rim does have a brake track)

  • You can't reduce the spacing on these (or at least not that far). You can get a Nexus hub down to 123 or so if you leave off the drum brake and change the left hand lock nut to one of these:

  • I'd like to take this - will pm

    Edit: just spotted it's the 24 spoke version - not suitable for what I had in mind so I'll pass.

  • Got interesting visions of some elephant carrying hub geared cargo bike.

  • Thanks Kev, all sorted now though !

  • Rear still available? Dibs if so
