John, Since 2013, have bought from bike24.de, rose.de and bike-discount.de in Germany. All have been excellent. My last order was in 2020 from Rose Bike, when I couldn't find what I needed locally. Things have changed over the past 10 years or so. There are quite a number of restrictions by

Thank you Ian, the quality of the hub is something to consider. You mention ordering from German sites, is there one or two that you can recommend? JohnS On Wednesday, March 27, 2024 at 5:39:10 PM UTC-4 Ian A wrote: > Just be aware that is a fairly low end dynamo in the Shimano range. >

Thank you Mathias, that looks like a good deal, I'll have to check to see what the shipping would be. I may go that route if isn't too expensive and I don't hear from someone on the list. Hello NYCBikeGuy, sorry to give the impression that I know how to build wheels, I don't, but I've heard
