I just took the plunge, got the 650b Shimano NH72 wheel from Longleaf but
got the BM IQ Cyo Senso Plus headlight. Cant wait really. I wonder if I
can mount it to the top rack mounts on the Bombadil fork or if the
off-centeredness would drive me crazy (er).

When I put a constant running LED tail light on my rear rack it was a good
day..It truly makes the bicycle a vehicle. No more worries about dead
batteries etc. There are some real benefits to a constant on tail light.
Just run the wires back there its no big deal then refine it with

Yeah, that is why I don't subscribe any longer either. I understand Jan's
desire to leave something for posterity. But unless it is something along
the lines of his forthcoming Rene Herse book (which I have ordered already)

just re read the article and it performed well from what I saw. Not even
close the least. I could be mis reading or missed something all together.
Looking at charts and comments it looked as though the only concern
Took that out of context. The SP-Dynamo PV-8 was least efficient downhill at
night.

Not sure about NM, but some of the LBSes in the Chicago area sell
individual BQ editions for those disinclined to subscribe.

Leaning towards Shimano or the SP non-switchable. Any first hand experience
with the SPs?

I think you can buy individual BQ issues right from their website.
Regarding the SP hub, I have the PD-8 on my commuter, but have only had it
a month so cannot comment on durability. Initial impressions are that it is
built perfectly well given its price. I'm sure it's not SON quality, but at
Thanks. I did subscribe for several years but let my subscription
lapse at the end of last year because money is tight. It's a good
publication -- may well be the best, in quality, of anything out there
-- but it's a bit narrow for my interests.

Hi Justin. I have a Shimano DH-3N71 that's been in use for a little more
than 4.5 years. It's on my commuter (first a Kogswell, now a Quickbeam).
I've used it year-round during this time, and park it outside during the
day. It's always worked just fine despite being exposed to the rainy
seasons
Two thumbs up for the 72, and I also own (and like) the SRAM iLight...
excellent value in both.

Hi
Today I did my first mixed mode commute (bus in AM, bike in PM) and realized
how much I truly need dynohub lighting on any bike I plan to ride after dark or
at dusk here in Philly. I have a previous generation Shimano dynohub on my
Saluki and love it. Also the same on my Rich-built wheelset
I've not used the newer Sanyo or Supernova hubs, but I have owned
several DH3 N72 models which I understand were improved over the
earlier ... 71 -- Sheldon had this sorted out. At any rate, he said
that the 72 and 80s have the same bearings, so I'm not sure what the
difference, if any beside
I ended up going with a Sanyo hub on my commute/grocery-getter/baby-hauler
and it has been great. The price is right and it has been solid. There is
an article on all the current dyno-hubs in the most recent BQ. Lots of info
on drag and output. I can summarize and email you later tonight.

Dan -- can you share with the list, for those who don't subscribe to BQ?
Thanks.

My go-to hub is the Shimano Alfine. I have two or three such wheels now. No
complaints! I've used several Schmidt hubs over the years, too, but I find its
hard to justify the price difference.

Had real good,luck with the 3n80'shimano. Great luck with the three SON28's
and have be very pleasantly surprised with the SP non-switched. The 3n80 and
SP both run about 130. Schmidt has less drag of all three but minimally so.
The SP will be my next one due to price and it smokin hot to
