The 'red' Alfine 8 speed hubs had extra weather sealing, that's why it was great in the tornado weather lol. TBH if you leave it in the rain just do a repack before you ride it again, unless it's a stupidly fancy hub, a

Whoever thought sticking with Bulldozer was a good idea while the GloFo thing was happening. The move towards more 'normal' process tech vs the tighter coupling when they owned the fabs led to probably at least a couple of misstep
