I am searching for the Shimano SG-S700 oil I need to service my Alfine hub, but am having very little luck.
Madison (Shimano importer) do it, but from their website it seems they deal with dealers, not punters. All other bike shops that I have found online who do stock it seem to be out of stock.

Any help, most appreciated.

    Can't answer you Q but wanted to ask, how come you need to service your hub? The alfine11 hasn't been out that long. Have you covered that many miles already!? Also, what's the hub like? Considering using one for a future build.

    Shimano recommends a two year service interval. It's only been available since January.

    Search for 130 9848-1 as that is the part number.

    Most places are out of stock.

    They use mineral oil.
