The real trick is proving to be the shifters. They don't fit the road bars. I need to work something out because I don't want to buy anything just for this experiment.

Is it okay too run the ALFINE hub as a single speed (no cable, just let it fall into a gear and stay there for the duration of one ride)?
An Alfine wheelset would fetch a decent price if you wanted to swap it out for derailleur type hubs.
