Picked up my new Genesis Day01 Alfine 11 today and it appears to only have 9 gears...
Due to the weather I've not been able to have a go on it outside yet, it's currently tipped upside down in the kitchen, but spinning the cranks and changing gears it appears to only have 9 gears. The shifter is a Versa 11, so should have 11 clicks.
Any ideas as to why this is? I assume it's just me being an idiot.
The other 2 gears only appear on a leap year.
Presuming you've checked the cable is adjusted correctly, have you unclipped the cable to make sure the shifter itself has 11 clicks?
Unfortunately I hear of faulty Alfine 11 hubs quite frequently...
I have not.
The little yellow fellas are lined up, how would I unclip the cable?
Is it april first ?
9 clicks for 11 gears is correct
9 shifts and 1 gear at each end....

Ten clicks there, mine only has 8...
Your right doh .
I did have some issues with my 8 where by shop had tensioned it in gear 4 by mistake.

Simplest way is to pull the outer out of the cable stop on the hub...
Yeah, figured it out, it's been tensioned in the wrong place. Took the cable out of the stop, 11 clicks on the shifter, then the full 11 gears when I shift while holding the outer.
Annoying.
The Alfine scares me, I don't wanna **** with it.
Is the actuating arm on the hub fouling on the frame? I had this on my Alfine 11, you need to make sure the lump of plastic at the end of the arm where the yellow marks are doesn't catch on the seatstay or chainstay as this will buggewr up the shifting in 10th and 11th gear. The solution is to grind or file off the plastic bit or put a spacer on the axle to spread the axle and give you enough room.
