this hub will definitely be a bigger push in europe than the us. have you guys seen the Di2 style electronic shifting alfine group available in Europe?

I'll give one a try only due to the price since i will be able to get it at. I've always been okay with derailleur systems even for rough touring, but after seeing pictures of BF member Jiblis' Rohloff equipped bike mired in some heinous mud in South America, have been pining for an internal gear for a rough and tough ORV touring platform.

finally getting close to what's needed for touring from shimano in internally geared systems. is 11 speeds enough nuance in gearing when humping loads all day would be one question IMO but maybe thats a non issue.
