Comment on Shimano Alfine 11 speed quietly announced. by Martin Hartley

At the moment I’m waiting to hear some user feedback. The price at the moment is not unreasonable. It looks to give me a nice spread of gears. I have a Raleigh Twenty frame, which I would like to re-build into a folding/collapsible touring bicycle. I could use one more lower gear, but in reality, if I’m in the low 20’s, then I am probably considering using the universal 24″ gear (get off and walk – 2-feet get it?)

Chainring: 44
Sprocket: 20
Wheel Size: 20″ x 1.75″

Gears: 22.8″ – 29.5″ – 33.3″ – 38.0″ – 43.1″ – 49.1″ – 56.0″ – 63.3″ – 72.2″ – 81.8″ – 93.2″

Please send me an email as soon as it is available. A friend of mine will come to Brazil mid december, she lives nearby Boston. I´ll be the happier Brazilian MTBiker if she can bring it to me.

Karl,

Their math does add up… or rather: it multiplies correctly. A 13% gear gap means that you multiply the smaller gear ratio by 1.13. Doing the math, (1.13)^7 * (1.17)^2 = 4.11, which is a gear range of 411%.

Whats not to like? bigger sprockets are more mechanically efficient and last longer. Smaller chainrings give better ground and frame clearance. If you follow the link at the bottom of this page you can see Shimano’s recommended chainring/sprocket combinations on the left of the instructions sheet.

thanks for making my california day worth living. I love the hipsters… my new wheelset should arrive today (from you) so that I can get my own San Jos8 going. I hope the Jtek shifter works as good as you all say. I’m a little worried about the right knee/shifter interface though.

October? Time to double-up on saving my pennies. Any add’l word on specs, particularly gear ratios? There has been some conflicting information flying around about range & steps between gears.

Finally some info on 11-speed on Shimano web:

I surely hope the mounting of the cassette is less fidgety than that of the 7-speed.
