Veer do a belt drive that joins together, on their website they show a biker with horizontal dropouts. I imagine with some bodging you could get it to work on a bike with vertical dropouts, maybe use a chain tensioner arrangement. One idea might be to add washers each side of the chain tensioner...

You can buy clips, here's a selection. https://www.google.com/search?q=bicycle+frame+cable+guide+clips&oq=bicycle+frame+cable+guide+clips&aqs=chrome..69i57j33i160j33i22i29i30.12987j0j4&client=ms-android-oppo-rev1&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#scso=_dqMxZLbvIc2ggQa4_JTQCQ_27:349.5

I have saw somebody 3d print cable guides, they attached these to their top tube and seat stay. They used outer cable along the whole route, seemed to work.

Does the new motor allow clearance for gear cables under the bottom bracket.

When I am serving wheels I use a depth gauge to measure the distance from the threaded axle to the outer cone. This gives me a reference point, if I need to adjust for bearing for surface wear i give it a slight turn in.

The lowest rear mech Desire does is 9 speed.

Can I ask why you used the Alfine 8 instead of the Alfine 11.

Ask the dimensions of the battery from the seller and cut out a cardboard template, take this with you when buying bike so the battery fits in the frame. Also try and work out if you need to add an extra mounting plate as this will add extra height. I use this one...

Buy a bike, add mid drive, get a wheel made using a rohloff hub or Alfine / nexus hub. I think you need a special frame to use a gates drive but people have converted it on a standard frame.

Drivetrain technology will only change for the masses when Shimano and SRAM get involved. Shimano have bought the CUES system which still uses the chain and cassette system. I thought Shimano would have made their Alfine hub thru axle compatible and brought out a belt drive system. Sram are...

Ewheelbarrow racing could become the next big thing.

One thing to bare in mind is that you need to make the freewheel tool centre diameter is big enough to fit over the ebike hub motor axle. Here's one that will, they is probably others that do as well...

I put high Viz strips on my rear rack, the tear light beam shines off it.
