Nice. But surely it's just 3x better;)
Not quite, the Alfine 8 have an odd range of ratio, whether the 11 have a much even range beside the first gear (large jump between 1st and 2nd).
it have a slightly larger gap between each ratio in comparison to a derailleur, but nothing that you can't get used to.
