  • Alfine question – cable pull

    Does anyone know if an Alfine hub uses the same cable pull as any other Shimano 8 speed sti?

    …and do they have a built in cable outer stop so you don't need a braze-on on the frame? is that what that little arm is?

    Alfine / Nexus has a different cable pull – you need the proper shifter.

    The little arm does act as a cable stop – I ran full length gear cable outer when fitted to my ss frame and just used heatshrink sleeve to run it alongside the brake cable outer.

    There are a number of axle anti-turn wahsers available – you can swap them about to get the cable to exit in different directions (depends on your dropout – I ended up swapping lh and rh washers to run cable tidily up the chainstay)

    these are the only drop bar option

    apart from bar end shifters.
