Hi Patrick,

Responded to your i-bob thread but reposting here for posterity: I just 
tried this out with a new wheelset. The Shimano plug fit on the SON rather 
nicely, but no luck actually powering the lights. Bummer, that would have 
been surprisingly cool!

Re: [RBW] Re: Dynamo Hub Recommendations

[Patrick Moore]

I'd test this myself except that if I have a spare Shimano plug, I don't
know where it is. I'd be very interested to hear from anyone who can try
this.

Michael, thanks for bringing this to the list.

Re: [RBW] Re: Dynamo Hub Recommendations

[Teague Scott]

Wow, didn't know those existed! I just ordered a Kasai non-Field 
Serviceable yesterday from SomaFab Shop - didn't even see those FS 
Dynacoils!

Just checked up on them and it looks like they don't have a silver 32h 
rim-brake FS in stock. Now I'm wondering whether it's worth it to forgo the 
memorial day 10% off sale and wait for a FS to show up with the specs I'm 
after. Hmmm...

Yes I used the specs for the PV-8, I had previously read somewhere that they 
were the same. And yes those specs look correct.

Re: [RBW] Re: Dynamo Hub Recommendations

[Teague Scott]

I'll let Bones clarify, but I'm assuming yes, identical measurements. The 
only spoke calculator I could find with a plug and play SV-8 option is Edd.

https://leonard.io/edd/

Here's what the Edd spoke calculator has to say for the PV-8:
52 mm flange diam.
26.5 mm c-l & c-r
2.7 mm spoke hole diam.

Re: [RBW] Re: Dynamo Hub Recommendations

[esoterica etc]

Bones,

I just want to clarify what you said— did you use the specs of the PV-8 from 
the spoke calculator to build up your Kaisei? Meaning, the PV-8 and the Kaisei 
have identical measurements? Thanks,

Re: [RBW] Re: Dynamo Hub Recommendations

[Peter White]

Several years ago, SP hubs were made by a company named KT. I don't know
when that business relationship ended but since it ended, SP hubs have been
made elsewhere. As far as I know, there is no SP factory as such. They are
all being made under contract with some hub manufacturer.

Since SP's relationship with KT ended, word is the quality has gone
downhill. One distributor I've gotten to know over the years has stopped
importing SP and only imports hubs manufactured by KT. The reason is the
extremely high return rate he was seeing for SP hubs due to various defects.

The Kasai hubs from Soma are KT hubs.
