I took mine back several times, but eventually ended up changing it for the D3. The Alfine hub was problematic, although I’m not sure whether it was just that hub, or a cable issue, or a general issue with the new version of the Alfine 8 hub. Was a shame cos it’s well spec’ed and was a nice ride. T

Bar end shifter is j-tek
If that really stresses you out just get the Alfine trigger shifter.

The 2020 a8 is only 850 quid. Any reason not to get one as a winter commuter? Seems pretty unbeatable at that price point.
