Robust, simple, reliable
By Scott A. Larsen
I bought the Shimano 11 speed Alfine after buying a Cube Hooper with the 8 speed hub Alfine. I bought the Alfine 11 the year it came out. I was excited to get it. I needed more gear ratio since the 300% range on the 8 speed was not enough for where I live.At first I loved the hub Alfine with the 407% range. I road the 11 speed hub for just over a year and put close to 12.000 km on it commuting 66 km a day to work and back. I wanted a hub because of my commute through sand and dirt and I wanted low maintenance. First the second gear stopped working and then it started making all sorts of noise in other gears. I had already seen numerous post on the internet about warranty problems with the hub and people getting replacements. I am a mechanical engineer and judging from my experience and its design (see videos in youtube), the hub is just not robust enough, ad least for the use I put on it.I replaced the Alfine 11 with a Nuvinci N360 CVT (360% range) hub in June and I love it. It is a little heavier than the Alfine, and there could be more losses. The Nuvinci is very simple to understand and has many fewer components and fine components at that to go bad. Just watch the youtube videos of both hubs and decide which one is simpler. As an engineer, the decision is a very simple one. The Alfine just has too many parts to fail and it must be adjusted perfectly to shift. The Nuvinci is always in a "gear" and can't slip from gear to gear. I can only make a full report on the Nuvinci N360 after I put 10.000 km on it, but as of now I see no reason to buy the Shimano Alfine 11 or 8 with the super robustness and no maintenance of the Nuvinci N360 hub.With the Nuvinci N360 hub, I say Shimano can kiss their hub business goodbye. Nuvinci is the hands down winner.[...]

By T. Sos
Having installed the NuVinci 360 hub on my '95 Black Phantom, and rode it a considerable amount of miles, I have this to say: "YES! It WILL change the world!" Yeah-yeah, so it weighs more than a comparable de-railer system; Big deal! The bike weighed 70+ pounds out of the box. (I had managed to bring that weight down to around 40 lbs by deleting a lot of obsolete junk, and replacing it with something more practical, like this hub,with disk brakes.) About that hub: It is whisper-quiet, always reliable, usable ratio, ergonomic, intelligently designed, brings the 'Platinum-pack' crowd to a state of bewilderment, and wove right into the wheel without any "Spoke calculating" hassles. I am weaving elaborate fantasies about installing one of those wireless automatic-shift features that are becoming available. I would strongly recommend this hub to anyone who rides vintage bikes. The ONLY drawback was the shifter, which is mounted on the handlebar... bad idea! But I found a way around that!
