Hi all - hoping someone can give me some advice.
I'm looking to put together a 1x10 commuter based around a Surly Pacer frame, and have been looking at some of the options for a drivetrain.
I like the look of the Alfine crankset:

But would it be compatible with a standard 10 speed rear mech/cassette, such as the 105 below??

I can't figure it out, so any help would be much appreciated!
