Who has put tens of thousands of miles on the Alfine 11? It has only been out a few months and is still quite rare. It is a very different design from the 8 speed.
The replacement one was checked by riding VERY gently in the parking lot next door to my shop and did not shift properly from the beginning.
And there have been other reports of problems with 11 gear.
We shall see.
