Alfine8 Install!

Hmmm it doesn't look right?

The entry point for the shifter cable/housing in the cassette joint looks like it will interfere with the cog/chain/chainline. Am I missing something?

Ok I thought I had maybe installed the cog the wrong way around

mine looks the same on my pugsley. Actually works out well like that. not a problem. I thought I did it wrong too. Mine is straight up vertical just as you are holding it.

I'm so glad yours is sticking up like that because I thought I did something wrong but I couldn't figure out another way and besides it doesn't bind. Sweet!

I have vertical dropouts, but I got it like that the other day with some combo of non-turns. Ideas on bending it? Def need to bend it out a bit.

Take the whole cassette joint assembly off, then remove the plastic components.
That way you can clamp it it a vice and get a nice bend exactly where you want it without risking any damage to the plastic parts.
