I hate changing sprockets on Shimano Alfine 11 hubs! That ********** snap ring/circlip/whatever it’s called. Poxy thing!
I reckon the design life of the hub is about a sprocket’s worth of riding, hard to believe it’s something designed to be replaces.
Hate, hate, hate them!!!
I look forward to it wearing out completely so I can replace the wheel for an SS one.
I’m now very grumpy at my bike.
