You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
....32 hole, silver. Wiggle are now telling me June delivery following the '...yes, we have stock to cover all backorders...'. So who - if anyone - in retail land has one? I NEEEEEEED one 😉
Ta in advance
JRA have the hubs, not sure on colour.
Thanks Al - I will investigate that.
Any others??
Think On-One are advertising full builds with them, may be only pre-order tho'
Yes, retail hubs WERE on the on-one site.... but they don't appear to be there any more..... 😥
Ooooo - SJS for the win I think.... though I appear to be paying a 10% premium for silver. Ho hum.
theyre never the cheapest and their P&P can be hefty, but they usually have brilliant stock, lots of oddities for building freakbikes with.
True enough.... if push comes to shove then a trip to Bridgwater is only 45 mins down the M5.
We've got 32H Black, at £387 - sounds like no use for you, but maybe for others... 😉

Head for the Hills in Dorking had one in the shop the other day, it was in a box so no idea on colour etc.
So, thanks to Stoner (doffs cap in your direction sir) and SJS, I now have a silver, 32hole, hub sat on my desk. Woo, and indeed, Hoo....
.... however, they didn't have the CJ-S700 cassette joint kit in stock and it's obviously 1600g of uselessness without it. I have checked the usual suspects with no joy so I humbly ask for you help again in finding one of these out there in retail land.....

Good calls - JRA won't sell the joints on their own as they only have enough to cover the hubs they have in stock, which is fair enough I suppose.
Any others? 😉
Mister P - <cough> would it, er, be possible for Madison to supply directly? </cough>
There seems to be plenty of stock & good prices in Europe - particularly Germany [url= http://www.bike-components.de/ ] look to be doing a good deal on a complete 11 speed kit & postage ain't bad either.
Can you put new 11spd internals into an old 8spd shell ?
Madison don't have any in stock hence my pointers to shops who have had some.
Mister P - understood.
May well look to Europe then if the other leads don't go anywhere......
JRA's price for a full wheel with the Alfine 11-speed hub seems to be not much more than the cost of a hub...

The internals are different shapes so I very much doubt it.

I have the hub (in the drilling and colour I want - they had neither), I have the matching rim in the colour I want, the drop bar levers are (alledgedly - see other thread for potential EPIC FAIL content) on their way.... the joint kit is - literally - the last thing I need to get the beast up and running.....
If the levers do turn up (and I have my fingers crossed for you) will you please put a new thread up on the forum with pics?

Yes, will do - if they turn out to be smoke-and-mirrors then I have a 'Plan B', but that will involve getting hold of the standard 11-speed shifter, which will be equally as rare as hens teeth 🙄 This was supposed to be my winter bike - for this winter, not next FFS!!
Got mine from Ebay - runs luvverly.
