Re: sRe: [RBW] Re: Which Dyno Hub?

I've got lots of miles on a Shimano 3n72, limited experience with Kasai RB (150 miles?), and hands on but no riding experience with SON 28 (which is on my partner's bike). I've also used a Sturmey Archer drum brake/dynamo hub. My hot take is that all of them do their job great: powering really

sRe: [RBW] Re: Which Dyno Hub?

Another shout out for the Shutter Precision which is what James at Analog spec'd for my partner's Susie as a lower cost alternative to a SON28 - it's been rock solid for her so far, but tbh it's seen light use. Max On Wednesday, July 27, 2022 at 6:56:16 PM UTC-4 J J wrote: > This is an enlighten

Re: [RBW] Re: Which Dyno Hub?

This is an enlightening and timely discussion about dynamos, as I'm shopping for one myself. Thank you. Has anyone had experience with Velocity's dynamo hubs ? I came across them haphazardly. I also wonder about Velocity's rear hubs

Re: [RBW] Re: Which Dyno Hub?

On "enjoy wheel building": One benefit of disc brakes is that I can easily build my own wheels and have good braking performance. Rim brakes are a bit more particular about the wheel being true and round. -W On Wednesday, July 27, 2022 at 10:57:42 AM UTC-7 Tom M wrote: > > This may or may not i

This may or may not influence your decision, but The Pro's Closet has several SP dynamo Exposure Lights combinations for sale: https://www.theproscloset.com/pages/search-results-page?q=exposure%20lights%20revo%20dynamo. I'm a fan of Exposure lights, so I went with this combination for several

Hey Deepak, On second thought I think I'll pass on the bull bars. I already have a set of Jones bars to try first. I do still want the 50mm stem though. Thanks Lance On Tuesday, July 26, 2022 at 9:03:36 PM UTC-6 atreya...@gmail.com wrote: > Hi, > > I am clearing my stack of handlebars , stems

Re: [RBW] Re: Which Dyno Hub?

I agree with all that has been said so far. I have a Shimano dynohub, an SP dyno and an SON. The Shimano is known to have slightly more drag than the SON and the SP is pretty close to the SON. I have been commuting on my Shimano for years (and previously on the SP for years on another bike) with

Re: [RBW] High bars at a club ride

I’ve got Boscos, Toscos, Rene Herse Maes os, and Some HWY onecos. I’ve ridden albatross, bull horns, fun3s, high risers, etc. They’re great. Having strong feelings about a handlebar seems strange to me. I like the multiple positions on a drop bar as much as I like the upright position on albatr

Re: [RBW] High bars at a club ride

OK, I used to be all against the idea of riding in circles for sport. I'm all about riding to get somewhere or do something, not just riding loops. Then Covid lockdown hit and I didn't bike to work, there was nothing open, and I didn't want to be exercising my lungs in the grocery store after

Re: [RBW] High bars at a club ride

I've always been a "to each their own" kind of person when it comes to bikes, and whatever gets anyone out riding and enjoying their bike(s) is a very good thing. However, all of this discussion centering around the controversies and drama of club rides just further cements my antipathy towards

Re: [RBW] Re: High bars at a club ride

I dislike flat handlebars so much that back in the days when I had an MTB, I took the flat bars off it and substituted drop bars after the first couple of rides. Drop bars offer multiple different hand positions, which I find very useful on long rides: 1. holding the straight section of the

Re: [RBW] Homer 6 months review and questions

It took a few tries rearranging the stem bag connections to make mine work. The stickstand worked very well but wasn’t practical enough for me, when leaving and coming back home. Bikes are in my small living room behind a chair. Take off stand and move bike around chair to open area. Stand on.

Re: [RBW] Re: High bars at a club ride

Max, you forgot your favorite riding position: NO HANDS. Joe, the club folks are really, really nice. The young racers in the super-fast groups don’t talk to us, but I guess I don’t talk to them, either, so… > On Jul 26, 2022, at 11:23 PM, Max S wrote: > > I think that's just part of the desi
