Can I use this with an S7000-8 alfine hub?
By
08 Jul 2024
Does it make a difference that it displays 8 - 1 rather than 1-8?
i.e. Does is pull the same length of cable for each gear change?
Yes, this will work with both Nexus and Alfine 8 speed hubs, however due to the design of the IGH the shift action does work in the opposite to a normal trigger shifter. SK 08/07/24
What brake lever is it compatible with?
By
16 Apr 2023
Wondering what brake lever can be used with this shifter to save space on the bar.
Pretty much all flat bar brake levers will work with these shifters, you will need around 20-30mm of space for the lever clamp depending on the lever. SK 17/04/23
What is the clamp size?
By
02 Feb 2023

The clamp is designed to fit standard 22.2 bars down at the grip end. SK 03/02/23

Im trying to upgrade my sons bike from shimano revo grip shifter?
Sadly no, as Alfine shifters have different cable pull to normal 8-speed shifters.

Does this facilitate 'standard' shifting pattern #2
By

Sorry about the question...Is a thumb press changing to an 'easier' gear and finger press to a harder one?
tumb is shifting up into easier gears, and finger pull into lower gears.
Does this facilitate 'standard' shifting pattern?
By

Just wondering if this changes gears in the same direction as a standard derailleur or is it reversed - Hoping its thumb press to advance the gearing and finger to gear down. I am planning to use on a Nexus 8
Yes, so thumb press to go up and finger pull to go down
Could this be used with a 7 speed biopace setup and match the gear spacings? Thanks.

it would depend on the front mech, 7 and 8 speed spacing is as near as matters identical, you'd need a 7 or 8s MTN front mech such as Shimano Altus FD-M310 8 Speed Conventional Swing Front Derailleur - Multi 28.6/31.8/34.9mm (SJS Cycles part number : 37286) RT
Does it come with rubber boot

Would it fit onto a drop bar handle bar? looking to convert single speed to a hub gear
By

Hi there,

You should be able to fit this on the flat part of the bar if it has a 22mm diameter.

Thanks.
