The Shimano Y0029801A maintenance oil set is the 1 litre service oil with dipping container for the oil-dip service of Nexus and Alfine 8 internal gear hubs. The internal unit is taken out and dipped in the oil – it cleans and re-lubricates the mechanism and keeps shifting smooth for years.

How the oil-dip service works

The internal unit is removed from the hub shell, dipped in the oil, drained and refitted. This cleans out old lubricant and re-lubricates the gears and clutches.

Follow Shimano's dealer manual for the procedure. For heavy daily use we suggest a check every 1–2 years.

Who is it for?

  • Workshops. Servicing Nexus and Alfine 8 hubs.
  • Experienced home mechanics. With several internal-gear bikes in the family.

Frequently asked questions

No. The Alfine 11 runs in an oil bath and needs SG-S700 oil and the TL-S703 oil change kit.

How often should the hub be serviced?

Follow Shimano's dealer manual; for heavy daily use we suggest a check every 1–2 years.

About Shimano

Shimano was founded in 1921 in Sakai, Japan, as a one-man workshop making freewheels. Today it is the world's largest maker of bicycle components, and its standards – Center Lock rotors, Hollowtech cranks, Rapidfire shifters, mineral-oil hydraulic brakes – are what most bikes are built around.

At BoodaBike we use Shimano internal gear hubs and hydraulic brakes on our own belt-drive bikes, and we stock the service parts we use in our own workshop.
