I understand one of the good things about alfine hubs is that they enable you to shift whilst stationary, helping deal with issues where you find yourself having to stop without getting a chance to change down, then having to start again in too high a gear.
Now does the same apply to other hubs such as sturmey archers etc? Just I'm after a reasonably lightweight 3 or 5 speed setup.
