I know the Nexus IGH has a roller brake compatible version, but I prefer the Alfine....It's shiny and black for one :-)
This is an old thread but the topic is now quite interesting for me. I want to fit Shimano roller brakes to hubs with disk brake rotor mounting holes. This is more doable than it sounds. I'll design a draft of the adapter I have in mind.
