Although all the dots and lines seem to be in order, my Alfine 8 is slipping frequently. Is there a shop in Austin you'd recommend to lube, perform exploratory surgery, and/or replace it?

I don't use them for much else, as they tend to be expensive and slow compared to some other shops for simpler repairs -- but Mellow Johnny's is my go-to for internally-geared hubs. I have a SRAM iMotion 9 on my Tikit; past bikes have had a Rohloff, a Nexus 7, and an Alfine 8. They've never done me wrong, and once did a full rebuild when I brought the hub by for a simpler problem -- without increasing their price accordingly.

Excellent mechanic.
IGH's are one of his loves.
He runs a unique rohloff on his commuter.
And lays down a burly drum line for the Minor Mishap Marching Band, to boot.

I would buy this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Shimano-Alf … 4acb440569 and transplant the guts. That is not hard at all.
