I took the the expensive Shimano kit and my Alfine 11 equiped bicycle and designed a superior (in my opinion) and cheaper kit. I had to buy quite a few more components than I needed but I can share the financial and technical advantages with other Alfine 11 owners.
I have a job, this is not my business. I hope others benefit from my research and design.

- Kit includes petrochemical stable syringe for new SG-S700 oil.
- Kit includes second petrochemical stable syringe for used oil avoiding cross contamination or need to clean.
- Kit includes petrochemical stable synthetic polymer bleed nipple that cannot damage hub threads (unlike Shimano metal item that easily damages threads).
- Kit includes petrochemical stable 'o' ring for bleed nipple (keep the original safe with the hub drain bolt).
- Kit includes petrochemical stable clear hose for connecting syringe to bleed nipple .
- Kit includes Service Instructions.
- Does not include an oil containerfor recycling used oil to save costs.
- Does not include new SG-S700 oil(I have a reliable supplier for this expensive oil, just ask).
- 3mm allen key is needed to carry out this maintenance, I have these.
- I can supply a second bleed nipple, 'o' ring and hose to reduce cross contamination of used and new oil. In my opinion it is not worth the extra cost.
- Shimano kit only contains 1 each of syringe, metal bleed nipple, hose, container.
