[RBW] Re: WTB 26" Front Wheel with Generator Hub
John, Since 2013, have bought from bike24.de, rose.de and bike-discount.de in Germany. All have been excellent. My last order was in 2020 from Rose Bike, when I couldn't find what I needed locally. Things have changed over the past 10 years or so. There are quite a number of restrictions by manufacturers as to what can leave the EU (in order to protect local North America vendors, which makes good sense) and things like batteries now fall under restrictions for dangerous cargo. Rose removed the cycle computer from my order because of the single CR2032 battery couldn't be shipped outside of the EU without extensive paperwork! Naturally, with this being the RBW list, look for local options first. Maybe a list member is holding just what you are looking for. :) IanA Kitimat BC On Thursday, March 28, 2024 at 6:13:46 AM UTC-7 JohnS wrote: > Thank you Ian, the quality of the hub is something to consider.

[RBW] Re: WTB 26" Front Wheel with Generator Hub
Just be aware that is a fairly low end dynamo in the Shimano range. Slightly heavy and draggy in comparison to the higher end Shimano and SP products. Some shopping around on the German sites might get you an SP hub or an LX/XT hub built into a wheel. Shimano does have a restriction on allowing the export of their products from Europe to North America. A complete wheel might be excepted from the restriction. I have bought a fair bit of stuff over the years (Tubus racks, B lights, Brooks Saddles, Ortlieb panniers and handlebar bag, tires, spokes and nipples etc) and quite a few of those items are now restricted for export. Xxcycle in France doesn't seem to observe those restrictions (yet). Maybe they do now, my last order was while back. My main reason for ordering from Germany is because the economy shipping option comes through the regular postal system and gets delivered by Canada Post on this end. Canadian consumers will have horror stories of shipments delivered via UPS and FedEx due to the brokerage fees for customs entry. Also, shipping tends to be faster to Canada from Europe than from the USA. IanA Deepest, darkest BC, Canada On Wednesday, March 27, 2024 at 1:59:09 PM UTC-7 JohnS wrote: > > Even better!

I'll send pics.

Here's a new option: https://www.rosebikes.com/rose-dt-swiss-535shimano-dh-3d32-qr-26-discnon-disc-mtb-front-wheel-2721231?article_size=6853_shape=1 you get the 19 % VAT deducted when shipping to the U.S. so the total price will be between 125 and 130 Euro; a Euro being $1.08 at the moment. I've had excellent luck with Rose products; they sold 700x35 mm Pasela Tourguards last year for $17 a pop -- less than half the price stateside. cheers -mathias On Wednesday, March 27, 2024 at 10:51:13 AM UTC-4 JohnS wrote: > Hello All, > > Looking to make my '82 Stumpy a year round errand runner, so dyno lights > are the way to go. > > Requirements: > 26" rim brake for a wider tire.
