Actually, the hub I am having problems with is the Nexus 11 speed on my cargo bike. I had it serviced 4 times now and keep having issues with recurring intermittent skips. This caused me a nice shin scar in the past and I came very close to an off.
Problem with it is that unlike derailleur based systems, I just cannot fix it myself or swap for a cheap part. As soon as there's something wrong with it it's off to the shop or replace wheel, shifters, the lot.
"I sure wouldn't get an alfine again"
Can I ask why not?
Seriously considering getting an Alfine 8 for a 6 mile canal towpath commute.
