Anyone know where I can get an Alfine trigger shifter?
I would like to use one with my Nexus 8 red band hub.
If anyone could point me in the right direction as to where I can get one, I would very much appreciate it.
thanks lots. :beer:

The Nexus 8 stuff seems to be in very short supply. Dealers where I previously saw stuff now list them as out of stock.

I managed to locate a pair of them from a NL supply shop.
One for my current R20 build, and another for my wife's upcoming build.
My LBS may have one already - don't know for sure.
Still waiting for the frame to come back from the local powder coater!
(Hey, it's only been 5 wks now!) :rolleyes:

Anyway - I always like to have a spare around, so hopefully, one of these will be just that.

Why are these things so hard to get here in NA?
