Anyone got one yet? Interested to hear how it feels compared to the 8 speed (which is now being discounted by On-One along with the Versa levers.)

Hmm looking at that on one deal as an early xmas pressie..

I was told January 2011.

Does anyone have a link to the on-one deal? I’ve looked at their website but cant see it. Cheers.

Do a search.
Just bought a hub and shifter..

I see there’s 32 and 36 hole hubs. Plannign to build / have one built into a 29er wheel, does it matter which one?

36 is stronger as it has more spokes but also heavier – may be harder to get some rims in 36 hole than in 32

32 hole is the cheap one, figure because that is the one they have loads of.

Stronger wheel with 36, but with the large flanges and wide spacing of them on an Alfine, the wheel would be more than strong enough with less spokes even on a 29er.
