Yes, one thing that Shimano did right and SON didn't do right is the
connector. I meditate on that difference every time I have to remove
and replace my SON wheel when fixing a flat.
I've been using DH 3**D**72s ("D" = Disk) or whateverthehelltheyare on
the Fargo (previously had one ..."N" ... on the Motobecane, too) off
road in lots of dry dust. No problems so far.
And: what is the difference between the ...72, the 71, the 80, and the Alfine?
One curious fact: When powering the light, my SON 20 buzzes or
vibrates more than my two ...72s. But it spins slightly easier
nevertheless.
