Review: EXCELLENT! - This is the smallest (fastest) cog for the Alfine/Nexus hubs. 16T is 13% faster than the 18T that came on my 2011 Dahon Cadenza XL which uses a 32T chainring. This is the difference between keeping up with traffic and getting passed by angry drivers. Take it to a shop where the mechanic knows about hub gears. This will REQUIRE tensioning your chain after installation. I will buy another one when it wears out. Then another one after that. The price is right. My mech wanted "a beer's worth" to install it. I gave him $15 but I could have easily given him $5 and made him happy. Takes 5 minutes to install the cog, but the chain tensioning on my bike is very complicated and that's what you'll end up spending the labor on.
Review: Great cog for getting higher gearing - Works great with a 42T Alfine crankset. I originally had a 20T cog and this gearing was too low for me. I wanted the direct drive gear to be something I actually used. This cog did the trick. I think this cog is the smallest you can fit on a nexus / Alfine without rubbing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fits Afline 8
*by P***Y on June 16, 2011*

Bought this for my Shimano Alfine 8 hub because I wanted to go up in gear ratio but didn't have much space on my frame for a bigger chain ring. This fit with just the right amount of clearance for the chain and the shifting mechanism. Though the cir-clip was a bastard to get off and on, otherwise it was a simple operation to install. Took out a couple of links from my chain and it was good to go. Now I'm keeping up with traffic and slamming it down hill's.
