[Closed] Anyone running an Alfine with an EBB?

My Chameleon has EBB & Rohloff hub, similar set up to an Alfine I think.

Any tips, pitfalls,

I'll give you a tip.
Don't try using a Rohlhoff on a mountain bike unless you want a setup that drags like **** and slows you down loads.

Oh and get ready for sending it back to Germany to get the bearings changed on a regualr basis.

I had one on a GF Rig and it was grand. The EBB creaked like a bastid, but that was more to do with my heft than owt else.

I've had a Rohloff on a Chameleon and a Rig too. It works, that's all there is to it.

Oh, I'll give you a tip too.
Don't try using derailleurs on a mountain bike unless you want a setup that needs constant adjustment and maintenance and keeps jamming and breaking when you ride through sticks or mud.

The wheel bearings are a 61807 47x35x7mm and are less than £3 each from my LBS (Local Bearing Supplier).

LOL @ MTG and stu

i have previously had a alfine 8 sp and ran it on a love/hate with an EBB for nearly 2 years and never had any issues with creaking. below is a pic of when i had the alfine and that bike got nearly zero maintenance.

i have since upgraded to a rohloff on the same frame and still have all the advantages of hub gears but with a larger range.

2 years on my 456ebb prototype with no bother.

if your chainline is a bit off you can use a nexus sprocket as they are off set unlike the alfine one.

for pics google 456 ebb prototype, or search my thread history

I ran an Alfine on my Singular Swift for a while and no problems and the EBB worked brilliantly. I just couldn't get on with the way it rode with all that weight at the back.

Yes. Charge Duster. Alfine and EBB. Only problem I have had is that the Truvativ BB is made of cheese. This is being put right with a Hope.
Otherwise, nice.

I have 2: Thorn Raven Enduro with Rohloff, and Singular Peregrine with an Alfine.
Neither of them creak.
Both of them need slight adjustment occasionally, which I think is just chain-stretch.

Thorn frame will be for sale soon if you fancy giving it a go.
