I'm no expert on these but my research is that SV-8 is a 2.4 watt hub. It works well with the modern lights but since it puts out less power you have to be at a higher speed to charge things like a GPS or iPhone. The PV-8 is a 3 watt dyno and is a better match for charging devices. The

Tom The PV8 on my wife's Betty Foy, and the PV8 on the Holdsworth, including the other four I've built for friends bikes have all been holding up well. They have been ridden in raid / mud / light trails on tours etc. The drag is undetectable and honestly I can't tell the difference when

I actually like the narrow hub, aesthetically, though I do wonder about the wheel's lateral strength. Still, I don't do front loading, nor do I corner at Jobst Brandt speed,so I hope it will be strong enough. What is the difference between the S model and the P model? I forget which I have, but

I bought a budget assembled wheel from the same seller, consisting of a Sanyo dyno hub laced to some kind of Vuelta A719-esque rim. Check his other listings, there is always one posted. Good to deal with and the wheel is pretty darn good for 95 clams. KJ On Saturday, September 15, 2012

Hi Kelly, Based on your experience and what I read around the web, I am impressed. There are SV and PV models on ebay in the $125-135 buy it now range. That is very good compared to the competition. For Patrick Moore's benefit, S = Small Dynamo Hub P = Powerful Dynamo Hub X = Extreme

More than I ever wanted to know about dynamo lighting outside of the Peter White site: Deep Divehttp://swhs.home.xs4all.nl/fiets/tests/verlichting/index_en.html#SP_PD-8. A bit of a Nederlands perspective, but thorough. For sake of completeness: Peter

Hi Kelly, I am contemplating wheel builds. Thinking 32 hole, Velocity polished A23 rims (they seem to address some problems with Velocity Synergy in high dish). Of course I want dynamo lighting. When all is said and done, it is an expensive thing to do. Got to looking around and found

Is the SP the brand Velo Orange was selling? I just went to look and couldn't find a dyno hub on their site. (though I've missed things before) I had also looked at the supernova hub but it was as much as the SON28 or even the New SON which I would buy if spending that much money. Kelly

Was wondering why VO stopped selling them...the clutch wheel ears were bent a little on mine but it works and I straightened them with no problem. It was probably dropped at some point. I have occasionally had the unit turn off after hitting a large bump requiring that I dismount and re-engage

I have the PV-8 36 On the box they show the SV-8 SD-8 (switchable) and then the PV8 and PD-8 Non-switchable. I bought mine on Ebay wiht free shipping. I had some questions on a couple of things and when I asked I received quick responses. So all seemed good. I did go look at the
