Hi Justin. I have a Shimano DH-3N71 that's been in use for a little more than 4.5 years. It's on my commuter (first a Kogswell, now a Quickbeam). I've used it year-round during this time, and park it outside during the day. It's always worked just fine despite being exposed to the rainy seasons here in the SF Bay Area. I've taken it out for bike camping adventures and trail-riding, as well. Again, no problems. So, I've enjoyed my experience with the Shimano.
Hope this helps, Lee SF, CA On Wed, Oct 24, 2012 at 5:28 PM, <justinaug...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi > Today I did my first mixed mode commute (bus in AM, bike in PM) and > realized how much I truly need dynohub lighting on any bike I plan to ride > after dark or at dusk here in Philly.
