the older model continued only in 40/48h (see [1] - German, p.3.).
So for your Dyad 36h, I do not

There are four versions that you still may find in the trade:
SON 28
I'm a bit confused... Is there any specific reason to choose the older
version over the newer one for a Dyad 36 wheel for the Hunqapillar for
all of its intended riding purposes?

Sorry about the cryptic post. I didn't realize Google does not support

I would choose the lightweight one for the gravel roads you describe.
They sound like the farm roads around here, which shouldn't over-
stress a hub like that, especially with fattish tires.

Where I live there are no "fire roads" or "logging roads," but looki
How are maintained gravel roads different from fire/logging roads? In
my experience, the only difference is that gravel roads have deeper
gravel and more traffic. Steepness and washboardery are a wash.
I grew up on fire roads and paved roads, and now live in an area of
gravel roads and logging road

With modern LED lights, the SON28 really makes sense only if you need

The new SON 28 has slightly less drag (can you believe it?!) and is a
little lighter. However you can't get it in 40 or 48 hole drillings.
It looks like they will stop making old version in 32 and 36 hole
drillings; they will only make them for the 40, 48. This is because

There's also the new Supernova that has that turnable offable magnet

Can anyone highlight what the big difference is between SON28 old and
new? I'm thinking about a second dyno wheel and can't see the

Pierre,
With the "old" SON28, I can climb at between 10 and 12kph and still
have steady light beams on my bike. Both front and rear. The
headlight is a B&M Cyo with B&M tail light. With a Supernova light
front and rear (like on my Sam Hillborne) the light does flicker a bit
below 12kph.
Again,
