Re: [RBW] Re: my sp dynamo hub is unreliable

[Lungimsam]

I get a gentle hand massage at 18mph + with my sondeluxewidebody.

At first I worried about it. But it has proven to be no issue and doesnt bother 
me at all. It is very slight. If you are talking to someone or thinking hard 
you may not notice it. I usually notice it when it starts but then don't after 
a few seconds.

Its like a built in indicator that I am approaching 20mph.

I've got two SP dynamo hubs in near daily use, and they've been flawless. I 
can't even feel when the light switches on, but I sure can see it! They've got 
an estimated 2k+ miles between them and are paired with edelux 2 lights and 
b top light tail lights.

My experience with the Shimano was opposite. I could feel a vibration through 
the handle bars when the light switched on, and thenow the hub crapped out in 
under 250 miles.

Great to hear!  Yep, if you crimp the wire too tight, it cuts of the flow of 
electrons. ;)

Just kidding of course.

ok. i checked the wires and it looks like i was crimping the wire to the 
tail light somehow. when i unbundled the excess wire to the taillight, the 
system fires up immediately. i made a bigger loop and that has solved my 
problem.!! 
thanks guys!

Re: [RBW] Re: my sp dynamo hub is unreliable

[Tim Gavin]

I have a PD-8, and it has worked flawlessly.  I also have a couple different 
Shimano dynamos that work great as well.


Have you checked the wire for missing insulation, which could cause a short?  

I ask because I had a malfunction recently on another of my bikes (my Schwinn 
KOM, with a Shimano DH-T780 hub and B Cyo Premium).  

My light wouldn't turn on, no matter the switch position. However, I did notice 
it flashed on when I shifted the front derailleur!?  Turns out, when I changed 
the FD cable, I accidentally ran it atop the wire to my taillight. The cable 
rubbed through the insulation and caused the lighting system to short against 
the steel frame.

Easily fixed, thankfully.

I've also had the wires pull themselves out of the plug that connects to the 
dynamo.

Check your wires and connections thoroughly.

Best of luck,
Tim

My SP hub has been in near daily use in rain, snow, sun, dust, for a year 
now with flawless performance. 
Perhaps your wire contacts are imperfect?

i should mention, when it does work, the lights are bright and are 
functioning as they should; they work great! 
thanks again
