That is awesome! I am interested in a conversion the going the other way. I have a Swobo Baxter bike with the Alfine hub already installed and I would like to replace the chain with a belt drive.

I would like to do the same with my District 2nd. The only thing I am worried about is the axle length of the Alfine Hub. I measured something like 125mm in the current setup, but the Alfine Hub needs 135mm. Was your axle wider from the beginning or did you just expand it by force? Any comment would be very much appreciatet! Hey, nice work! I would like to do the same with my District 2nd. The only thing I am worried about is the axle length of the Alfine Hub.
