You can add to the list the need to regularly check that the bolt establishing the angle at which the bottle dynamo is mounted has not come loose. They often do, and when they do the angle shifts, the generator operates off-axis and quickly gets destroyed. By contrast, there's nothing to check that often with a generator hub. > > On Sun, Jul 15, 2012 at 10:08 AM, Will <waller.will...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dynamo hubs are a lot more dependable. > > > > Will > > > > > -- > "Push back against the age as hard as it pushes against you." > > Flannery O'Connor > > ------------------------- > Patrick Moore, Albuquerque, NM, USA > For professional resumes, contact Patrick Moore, ACRW > http://resumespecialties.com/index.html > ------------------------- > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
