How do i fit a wheel with alfine hub?

[barnesy]

Hi,

This may seema silly question but i am trying to fit the wheels to my new pompetamine with alfine hub, how do i get the chain around the chain ring and the small sprocket n the hub and then fit it to the horizontal drp outs?

Do i need to remove the chain?

Put the wheel as far forward in the drop outs as it will go (towards front of bike). Chain should be long enough to put on over chainwheel/sprocket. Pull wheel back in drop outs till chain is tight and tighten up chain-tug if you have one and nuts onto the tabbed washer.
Attach cable

Job done.

Cheers, it was one of those ones where i looked at it and thought "theres not gonna be enough slack in that" before i even bothered trying, tried and it worked.

Thanks
