Hi, everybody.


What would be the best option for shifting multiple gears with Shimano Alfine SG-S7001-8 IGH?


I first thought I just need to order https://bike.shimano.com/en-US/produ...L-S7000-8.html as its name suggests it should be capable of this, but apparently it isn't, it literally incapable of any advanced shifting, just one-at-a-time gear shift as any regular lever (and the need to constantly click the lever frustrates me a lot..)


Then I thought about grip shifts. They seemed like exactly what I need, and there are a lot of offers for such shifters on ebay (they seem to be intended for 8 speed Nexus hubs, but I believe they will work as well with Alfine, but quick research showed they have bad reputation. Seems like as they wear, they start to miss gears, get out of sync, and even can somehow damage the hub (no sure how it's possible, though)


I know Shimano have great options for derailleur transimition shifting, like Shimano Rapidfire Plus, which can shift up to 4 gears up, and up to 2 down, but do they have something like that for their IGHs?
