i can't imagine the 3n80 is positively more efficient and lighter than the 3n71 from the riders point of view. i'm sure the numbers support that, but for all intents and purposes, i bet they're very, very similar.
i think differences in weight, and drag for that matter, are neglible when considering the higher-end dyno hubs - they're all heavy, and unless one needs absolute top "performance" for marathon brevet riding or whatever kind of fast night riding one needs to do, i think the 3n71 is hard to beat, especially considering its price. for the record, I also think the 3n71 is more than adequate for brevet riding too. the schmidt is "state of the art" and super high quality (and the price tag reflects this), but i think i'd be just as happy on my 3n71 on a brevet as I am with my schmidt. for me, the only advantage of the schmidt (besides curb appeal) is that Peter White can take care of anything that might go wrong with the hub. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
