Shimano have a new Alfine dynamo hub they claim has the lowest resistance
ever!
Reason being it only have a 1,5w output for LED-lamps. Anyone know if SON
Edelux and others will work?
Weighs 420 gram witch is only 25g more than the DeLux hub. I guess hub shell
only have half of the internals:

Oh yes, it seems that Chris at VO didn't let me post a link to the
producer of their hubs in his blog.
Make me wonder... ; )

For wheelbuilding purposes, a dished wheel is not much more difficult to build
than a non-dished wheel. You may have two different spoke lengths, but
otherwise the process is the same.

Hi!
I can't assert with any Jobst-ish analysis or data that dish makes
much difference, though obviously there are those with more knowledge
than I who feel pretty strongly about it, both "yes" and "no".
But... though I have a wheel history that has left me with an

I second that "thanks" for the heads-up on the Sanyo. Definitely makes
the endeavor a whole lot more realistic... and makes the switchable VO
hub a whole lot less attractive.

Dish on dynamo hubs is sometimes non-zero. Non-disc SON hubs are symmetric,
but other manufacturers move the right flange inward to leave room for the
wire/plug connection. My personal favorite lotsa-bang-for-the-buck hub is
the Shimano Alfine, which has some dish because of the disc brake mount
Thanks for the heads-up on the Sanyo that Peter White sells. I never
browse his site, since he's got the '1000 words are worth a picture'
thing going on. The picture he does have on there makes me like the
Sanyo better than the Novatech, though. Sexier photography is worth
$5.
The Novatech isn't o
Perhaps someone can enlighten me...
The switched hub specifications indicate that there is a difference
between the distance from the left flange to the dropout and the
distance from the right flange to the dropout.
Does this imply that a wheel built with this hub would have non-zero
dish? If so,
It's a neat idea, but gambling $40 more than a 3N72 on something with
no track record doesn't strike me as the best idea, especially
considering that VO has been not utterly fantastic about handling
repairs in my experience. I'll wait to see how well they do after a
couple of years of hard use... P
You might also look at the Sanyo hub from Peter White he sells it for
$40 and it has cartridge bearings. From what I have read the reports
are good on it. I may get one for another bike since the price is so
reasonable.

If it's the same hub that Grant mentions, then I sure hope that the
new Reader comes out before the sale ends over at VO. I was interested
in the hub as well for I too am in the market for a dyno system. I'd
only be needing the lighting for commuting purposes, but I'd hate to

I have been hard-pressed to feel any noticeable drag on the dynamo
hubs I own, so even though this looks like a well-made hub, I feel the
switchable feature would be wasted on me.
For about $65 you can buy a SRAM iLight. I love mine... it's smooth
and reliable, and I can't feel any drag.

It seems that the 'switchable hub' have a 48mm flange to flange width
witch would make it narrower than the 50mm SON 20R / SON DeLux. There
are those that consider this as a potential issue for loaded touring

...and VO has a 20% off sale going through the 19th. So you can get a
switchable dynamo to play with for just over $100. I've got a rim for
it, too. Very tempting.

I purchased one and it cost $120 with shipping due to their 5th
anniversary sale and 20% off pricing. I plan to lace mine into my
current rim and think it will be fine. The Son has good seals and
durability plus its been proven. Its roughly double the price but may
not give double the miles. I wait
