Well, after talking with Jeff Jones, it seems like the Schmidt SON 28 135mm hub would actually work, since it has a through axle. I will need to talk with Peter White and make sure that this should actually work, I guess. i'm always tempted to go the route of dynamo hub if I'm going to be

Very nice writeup and glad to know you think it is very capable! It seems with the favorable exchange rate a new unit would be about $160-$170 shipped. The price of a Jones front hub ($140) plus this is still equal to or less than the cost of a SON wide body i recently bought, and it's a wider
