Byron will tell you that I NEED to have matched wheels. It’s a bit of an obsession, but I can’t help it. Anyway – I’ve been shopping for a good internal geared hub to run on my SS Cross bike. I’ve got black hubs – so I need black Internal gear setup. The only one I know of is the much sought-after, but non-US available Shimano Alfine group. I’ve found the disc compliant model (I don’t need disc) in some obscure German site – Alfine Hub in Black. With the weak dollar and that fact that my German sucks if something were to go wrong with the order – is it worth it? Anybody else got a lead?
