This is my single speed commuter I live in Phoenix so honestly gear range hasn’t been necessary but it sounds like a good luxury I’ve been eying the shamans Alfine IGH but unsure where to begin with sizing and purchasing hoping for someone with a state or just anyone with knowledge to give pointers. Thank you!

Not sure what you mean by sizing, but if you’re wondering about gear ratios, gear-calculator.com is indispensable.
As always, I’m going to recommend trying to find a local bike shop, as they’re going to be the most directly helpful for purchasing and installing parts, especially for wheel building

Remember that you can always size the external gear ⚙️ outside of the hub to fit your needs.
You can have low, normal and high gears, or if you want normal, faster and fastest, you can do that as well.
You can also add another chain ring up front and you can multiply 3 speeds into 6 or 9.
