I sure did! (get a wheel shadow) Didn't like it at all. I now have it
mounted in the front of my front basket on a Paul's stem cap mount-works
pretty well.

Dear lungimsam,
The SV-8 has the same power output characteristics (by design) as the
SONdelux. I have found them to be very slightly higher-drag (within the
range of other SON hubs I've owned, though, and I've had several--I
maintain five hub generators on currently-ridden machines) with the

The syntax of your paragraph leaves me wondering: do you mean, than the
SONs? Or than the SON Deluxe? Or than ...?
Second, how do you tell? The reviews, such as I've read, claim even less
drag than at least some SONs.
My
I have mounted a light on a Paul Gino mount on the side of a nitto mini front
rack. I did not care for the wheel shadow and off centre beam, so I moved the
light to front center. I expect many others would have found the side mount
fine.
YMMV

I run a BM Lumotec Cyo on a porteur rack, at the front right corner, under
a basket. The positioning is quite off-centre but in front of the wheel so
no shadow or interference with the beam. Works great, no issues that I've
experienced.
To supplement others' comments, the light does flicker
I have a SONdelux and an eDelux 2 light. I cannot feel any perceptible
drag. No difference when riding with the light on (load bearing) vs off (no
load). If I lift the wheel off the ground, it spins for ages before the
resistance will stop it. In my opinion, tire selection makes a MUCH bigger
I've been weighing dyno hub options, too. The SP has flanges that are 50 mm
wide (outer face to outer face). The SON's flanges are also 50 mm apart.
But the SONdelux wide body has 67 mm flanges, which should provide a
stronger more stable wheel.

What size tire? Rich said that on 700c that the SONdelux will cut out a
bit at lower speeds, whereas the SON28 does not. More resistance
(marginal) on latter.

Looks like fork mount or fork crown will be the way to go, though I think I
won't like the wheels shadows from fork mounting.
Maybe I'll just have to pony up for a front rack after all!
Which leads to the next question - hanging or standing edeluxe?

Ignoring the original question about the SP hubs and focusing on the
flickering that people are talking about
I have the SON Deluxe Widebody with the Cyo Premium T. The light
flickers at approximately .001 MPH, but by the time you're going 3 or
4 MPH, the light is solid. Truthfully, so far
The Edelux 2 is brighter than the original Edelux and can be wired to a
rear light. The updside down Edelux was not upgraded to the second version
and you cannot hook up a rear light to it.
My experimentation with dynamo lighting was with a Shimano dynamo and the
upside down Edelux and it
Do you all get wheel shadow from mounting to the side of racks? Is it
annoying? I once mounted a battery light to fork and it was annoying. Maybe
up higher by the rack isn;t as bad.
Thanks for all this great info, you all. And I consider it Riv content
because I wanted to hear from Riv riders
Longleaf Cycles says:
The PV-8 is equivalent to the SON28, with higher output and slightly
higher drag than the SV-8, which is equivalent to the SONdelux. You'll have
a slightly less drag with the SV-8, but you'll get slightly less efficiency
if you use the SV-8 with charging devices.

I read online that:
PV-8 - equivalent of the SON28, higher output, a little more drag than
SV-8.
SV-8- equivalent to the SONdelux. A little less drag, but a little less
efficient if you use it to charge devices.
