Sure. Although I do think that BQ is a publication well worth supporting with a subscription. Lots of great info.
Hubs tested were Sanyo H27 Shimano 3N80 SON28 SON Delux SON Delux wide-body SP HB013 SP PV-8 Article is "Generator Hubs for Performance Bicycles" None were bad. Quality control of SP hubs unknown. SP PV-8 is least efficient. If on a budget, extra $ better spent on headlights not hub. Favorite was SON Delux SL wide body. Wide flange = stronger wheel. Likes SL connector-less system. Low resistance. For casual riding Sanyo H27 is tempting. That is the nutshell version.
