A lot people are starting to really eye off the Shimano Alfine 8 speed for MTB at the moment.  Here is a great thread on MTBR about it and experiences so far as of 2 weeks ago

I'm running a Shimano Alfine in my Surly Pugsley.  It has worked great for snow, sand, beach riding as well as the CDN GDR.

BobNutz I have seen these in my friends shop and he has them on his Sonny Gracia grocery store bike with an 8 speed. They are Bobs answer to bikes with out skewers.
