Anybody managing to run an alfine hub where the Cassette Joint points inline with the seatstay?
I have looked on the instructions on Shimano Europe and I'm thinking you can't because you are limited by the orentations of the various no-turn washers.
Am I right or has anybody got a solution?
I have a frame wich has clips to run a full length of cable along the top tube and seat stay but I suspect it will only really work if I run the cable along the down tube and chainstay using Zip ties?
Thanks in advance.

I ran mine with the cable along the top tube and down the seat stay then curved round to meet the hub down by the chain stay with no problems.

Sounds interesting? Any chance you could post up a pic of that fella, coz I'm not quite with you?

Vertical or horizontal dropouts - or angled? You should be able to find some combination of the washers that enable you to do this swapping them from one side to the other perhaps?

Do you mean with a kind of "s" shaped kink in the outer so that it enters the Joint in the normal way?

My plan is to put the 11 speed hub on a Yeti Big Top frame, but the horizontal dropouts aren't available yet. I was toying with the idea of running a tensioner for now with the vertical dropouts, but as I'm looking at the hub and the washers I've got I don't think it's going to work without looking a dog's dinner.I will have another look at it tonight, but I was wondering if anyone had managed the configuration already?

REdted - what would happen if you use the washers intended for angled dropouts? should be able to fiddle something with these I would have thought.

Cool thanks TJ!and for the pic Epicyclo. That's more variants of washer than I was aware of, should be able to do something with those. Forgot about Sheldonbrown!! V. useful.

I ran it upwards deliberately. I didn't want anything down low where it could get hooked up.
(The bike was built up for an overland trip of around 1,300 miles in Oz . Riding conditions - open scrub on a compass bearing rather than a path)

Yep grey on the left, black on the right. Works perfectly with a seatstay cable run.
