It’s about time to put the SON back on the Frances for the Fall. I think the King hub is a little faster and smoother, but when the SON is on, I’d ride it anywhere, and love the dynamo light. Philip Santa Rosa, CA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

I guess it's not quite true that I've never noticed the drag - I DO notice the difference in efficiency on my Brompton between the original wheel and the SON-equipped wheel. It's minor, but it's there. /Jeremy On Monday, August 27, 2018 at 1:14:18 PM UTC-7, Lum Gim Fong wrote: > > I want to

I want to run an IQX on a Schmidt hub. My Roadeo is way faster than my Rambouillet, and I enjoy the ease of pedaling it along so I don’t want to slow it down if hubs draggy. Sounds like ok. I do have a Schmidt on my 650Ram but forgot if I could feel any drag when I put it on. -- You received

I have a SON28 on my Roadeo. It's great, especially now that the days are getting shorter again. All my other bikes have a SP dynamos. Also, great. SON's look nicer, but I actually like the connector for the SP better. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Virtually ALL the bikes I ride regular have Dynamo hubs. 5 SPs, half dozen Shimanos & an older SON. Put it on, set it & forget it! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails

I have 2 sets of dyno wheels, One Son28 and one SonDelux both built by Rich. I don't really notice the drag at all. The Son28 is running a Busch & Muller IQ-X, the Deluxe a Schmidt Edelux ll. The Schmidt light causes less drag, the IQ-X has a brighter beam but seems more focused in the center

I don't notice drag with any of my many dynamo hub wheels (SP, Kasai by SP, SON, Shimano), but I _do_ notice a vibration at some speeds with all of them. It's subtle, but if you're riding smooth roads you should be able to sense it. Is it a problem? No. All non-racing bikes should have full
