Shimano Alfine 8 problem
Posted: Sun Sep 16, 2012 7:13 pm
Hey guys i've got a focus planet which has alfine 8 gearing, its been great since buying it shifting perfectly until afew days ago. i had a mishap with my bike rack, luckily i wasn't driving, the bike was on the roof and wasn't clipped in securely and got caught by some crazy wind and the bike fell off landing handlebar first on the driveway. theres no external damage to the hub so i don't think it landed on it but now ive got a shifting issue.
shifting up gears is fine it works correctly but when shifting back down it can go from 8 to first gear in one click it won't change down 1 gear each click so i don't know if something in the shifter is stuffed from when it hit the ground. nothing looks broken but the shifter/brake shifters are scuffed from hitting.
i found a video on adjusting the hub which ive done as it was a little bit out but not by much, but that hasn't helped improve the shifting.
i don't know much about this system, does anyone know what could possibly be the problem?
cheers.
