Friggin’ sweet ride!
If the colour markers are close but not quite in line I think there’s a little “reset” technique on the Alfine’s where you shift down to 1, then straight up to 5, and then down to 4. I find that after I align mine the markers are often a little out of line if I do this reset sequence, but if I get them in line after the reset the gears run super-smoothly.
cheers, I’ll give it a whack.
Modified one of the supplied “reflector” mounts to get this battery pack light on. It’s crazy bright but I can’t imagine running it on your commuter or something, battery pack is pretty bulky and would NOT mount well to regular size tubes.
You can work on these thing like a car, except you can flip em in their side 
Seriously loving this bike. Bring this thing out for a thursday night ride. I want to see it in person.
At least if I see you riding this around, I’ll spot it easily enough.
Any night pics of the light?
Sound good, no night pics yet but guess I’ll grab some tags on it soon enough ;o
edit: not now as I’m a bit boozed from dinner with mum n da fam but more cause it just started pissing down!
Triple points for tags on this
Cool! Never seen one. How do they ride? Are they difficult to steer with a load?
Found this too…
Carrying very precious cargo 
Awesome.
Also, this should fit perfectly.
does it wheelie Doug?
Love this. My second favourite commuter on st kilda rd rides one of these (which he has on a fucking string, incidentally), with a small laptop bag in the cargo space.
Well I’m sold, where do I get one?
Nah but funnily enough I pumped it a steep footpath entrance today and got the front off the deck! Fuck I laughed, gave myself a little pat on the back
Just different is all, getting better every ride. No issues at all under load except for the amazing air braking! I recon a cow would be more aero than I was this morning!
this is cool. Would love to see it IRL haha
love that blue. like a bugatti T35 on 2 wheels
So jealous right now. Still saving for a cargo bike, won’t be anything as fancy as this though…
Loving it! Get the shifting sorted?
Out of interest, as far as cable stretch goes , do you need to reset that little nut at the 101mm mark?
Rode it bout 50k’s yesterday, I got a battle plan for the gears that I’m gonna tackle today but the only sketchy bit is abound 5/6. You can ride top gear on the flat so top speed’s aren’t very high but I found myself spinning 1st and 2nd to get up a few hills! Never spun this much in my life! Need to get back on 85gi #br8klezz to have a rest 
Well, shimano recommend you run full housing, and cables don’t really “stretch”. Given there’s fewer housing ends to seat and settle, so there should be more than enough adjustment at shifter barrel to compensate. I’ve run mine on three builds and only had to move it when I was changing shifters from flat to drop bars.

Also the shifting on nexus/alfine hubs can take a bit of getting used to (even when the yellow indicator lines are perfectly aligned).
Upshifts under power seem to be OK in the lower gears while if you downshift the lower gears under power it will either stay in gear untill you let up or crunch the shift.
the 5/6 shift (or is it 4/5 i have drop bar levers with no indicator so not always to sure what gear i’m in) I find i need to take it easy on this shift or it can slip or make crunching noises. I think the reason is it engages the overdriven parts of the hub on this shift.
does that make any sense at all?
I still love my nexus
