[RBW] Re: need help troubleshooting my eyc dyno light and sp hub combo
Can you install the hub with the connector facing down. Wouldn't that eliminate water entry? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Water will wick in to the small entry holes for the wires unless they are sealed with silicone or other adhesive. Honestly, it's not an issue. I've been running two Shimano hubs, one for four years, one for three years (the latter one in all weather including New England winters) and haven't had a single issue. I agree with Andrew that stranded wire probably works better. I also think that a little bit of dielectric grease smeared on the bare wire and the hub terminals is a good idea to keep the bare metal interface from patinating and losing electrical continuity. But again, mine aren't treated and haven' had an issue. Anton On Tuesday, March 24, 2015 at 9:29:59 AM UTC-4, lungimsam wrote: Can you install the hub with the connector facing down.

Interesting you should say that. My own sense, after using the Shimano system for quite a while, is that stranded wire works best, because the stranding has some of the qualities of a spring contact. When the stranded wire is squeezed between the plastic shell and the contact on the wheel, the strands deform elastically, making for better contact. I think a solid wire, in addition to being fragile, would tend to force the plastic to deform...

Never treated 'em, no problem. I do use a drip loop in the cable, though. Channels water down and away from the connection..

Same here as the rest. I've been running a Shimano DN-71 whatever hub for a couple of years of daily riding in all conditions and it has never let me down. I find the connector very easy to detach for countless tire changes, as long as you install the wires properly at the outset. The SP appears (from photos) to have a similar plug arrangement. I also have one of the cheapo Sanyo hubs, whose design makes it much more fiddly to remove than the Shimano.

Don't know if I can help much as I've got a schmidt hub on my bike that uses the spade connectors. It kind of looks like those shutter connectors might work better with solid copper wire, but of course that would probably be stiff and a pain to deal with. Who built up your wheel?
