the frame build quality was a bit suspect
What was the issue? I read a few remarks around the net about disc tabs being misaligned and small things like that. Anything major?
but it’s alfined up
Is the alfine showing any signs of suffering from the weight you’re putting through it?
Yep, disk tab out of alignment on fork, and all the holes for racks, mounts etc: either full of paint, or swarf, or not tapped in straight. Also, the lower ‘footrest’ bar had a lug welded out of line.
As far as weight on the Alfine goes, i mostly go very slowly, and try to avoid hills, obviously. So, no issues yet. It was a pain to fit tho’, and the yuba has larger axle sized drop-outs. So, i needed some spacers which make it all the more fiddly.
If you really need to know some detail, mail me and i’ll give you the low-down.
