You're probably right. Also the stock cog is a 20, not 22. So with the two
rings, I get from 20" to 106". Disclaimers: I used mostly "parts on
hand", so the crankset was from a projected AHH build that never happened.
Or, to put it another way, I didn't really plan the gear range, but I knew
Nick, my daughter's Nexus bike came with 44T chainring and a 20T cog. This
gave her 31" to 96". The swap displaced everything shorter by a gear step.
There are some short very steep hills in my neighborhood and getting home
is always the hardest part of a ride from my house. The shorter setu
the idea is there is a scott model called the sub 10. it has a gates belt,
alfine 8, disk brakes and good geometry numbers for me. furthermore it looks
like it has the right clearances and drop for 650b and fenders. if REI
clearances them in the fall i might pick one up

strong endorsements on durability. common sense decision for me on gear range
needs. i like it! thanks

Also haven't toured with mine (yet), but +1 for the Paul Melvin. My Alfine
8 has the standard cog, 22t?, and I run a 28/48 in front. Like it a lot.

I break rear drive trains.
A lot.
I used to break axles on 6 speed freewheels with regularity. Solid axles.
My commute involves a lot of hill climbing, including a really nasty
one in front of my house, as well as carrying heavy loads home from
the store. I ride in all weather, and a lot of rain
I have an Alfine 8 setup on my Bombadil but I don't do touring. Its plenty
of gears for rolling hills around here. We do have a couple of steep ones
too. If you get a decent tensioner like a Paul Melvin you can run a compact
double up front and have 16 speeds, although there might be some overlap,
I have been bouncing around an IGH concept. Does anyone tour on an Alfine 8
rear hub? The setup I am looking at would get me a low gear of about 28 inches
and a high gear of 85 inches. That looks great for commuting but maybe not
enough for touring. Does anyone tour on the Alfine?

You r
Axle alignment technique? I haven't heard of that one before. Usually
I just tension the drive side, apply enough torque to hold the
position, screw down the non drive side, tighten the drive side, then
tighten the non drive side. Am I missing something?

One of my more exuberant customers killed his 2nd or 3rd 3-speed hub
in 2 years. I called the highly regarded manufacturer of the most
recent one to get another warranty replacement, which it turns out, is
no longer available (they've never had parts, so we always just
replace the whole hub). The t
