The microSHIFT Shift Inner Cable with cylinder head is the spare cable microSHIFT drop bar gear hub shifters need – the SB-N110 (Alfine 11) and SB-N080 (Alfine 8). Their levers take a small cylinder head that a standard Shimano shift cable does not have.

Why this microSHIFT shift cable?

  • Correct head, first time. The small cylinder head seats in microSHIFT drop bar shifters; an ordinary shift cable from the shelf will not.
  • For SB-N110 and SB-N080. The Shimano Alfine 11 and Alfine 8 drop bar lever sets.
  • Precise hub shifting again. A fresh cable ends skipped or hesitant shifts and constant readjustment.
  • Yearly service part. Easy to keep a spare for the gear hub service.

Why the right cable matters

Internal gear hubs shift precisely only when the cable runs smoothly and holds its tension. An old, stretched or corroded cable causes skipped or hesitant shifts. Because microSHIFT drop bar gear hub shifters use a smaller cylinder-shaped cable head, this cable gives you the correct fit.

Who is it for?

  • SB-N110 and SB-N080 owners. microSHIFT drop bar shifters for Shimano Alfine 11 and Alfine 8.
  • Gear hub riders. Doing their yearly service.
  • Rebuilds. Anyone re-cabling a drop bar gear hub bike.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a normal Shimano shift cable in a microSHIFT drop bar shifter?

No – the head of a standard Shimano shift cable is too large for these microSHIFT levers.

How do I change the cable?

microSHIFT publishes a drop bar shifter cable installation guide: shift to the end position, fold the hood forward, push the old cable out through the lever and feed the new one in until the head is fully seated.

Can you change it for me?

Yes, our Budapest workshop can re-cable the shifter and set up the gear hub shifting.

About microSHIFT

microSHIFT (AD-II Engineering Inc.) has been designing and refining bicycle drivetrains since 1999 – shifters, derailleurs, cassettes and cranksets for mountain, gravel, utility and road bikes. Its engineering and manufacturing teams work with their own specialised machinery and facilities in Taiwan and China.

Its philosophy, "technology for all", is that useful features should not be reserved for the most expensive groupsets: reliable products, packed with as many practical features as possible. That is why microSHIFT is one of the few makers of integrated drop bar shifters for Shimano internal gear hubs.
