Mountain Biking in Queens - Part3

Luke loses a lot of water when he rides.






































How to clean your Travelers Check after mountain biking. Looks like the Alfine is holding up well so far.

11 Speed Internal Geared Hub from Shimano

This just in!

From the wonderful hub geeks over at Hubstripping.com:



















"Shimano announces a 11 gear hub. The range will be 409% (Alfine 8 gear 307%). The hub runs in a oil bath like the Rohloff Speddhub. This should result a higher efficiency and longer lifetime. The price will be 300,- Euro release data is September 2010."

Can't afford a Rohloff? This is as close as you're gonna get.

I've had the Alfine 8 speed since July and I love it. Hopefully the 11 will be another step in the right direction.

Fingers crossed that it will be beefy enough for mountain biking.
