The rear wheel of this Rambler sports a Shimano Alfine 8-speed IGH laced to a custom Velocity Aeroheat wheel. We powder coated both the frame and rim with Tiger's Bengal Red color.

The Shimano Alfine transmission has been our most popular hub since it came out. It shifts easily under load, has a good range, and is nearly maintenance free.

While the tensioner is not necessary on the Rambler, we mounted it to make boom adjustments easy. The tensioner allows for about 6 inches of boom movement without needing to adjust the chain.

The Rambler chainline is simple with only one idler on the return side to keep the chain from sagging. The power side of the chain is straight only using the tubing to protect the paint and your pant leg.
