Re: [RBW] Have dynamo wheel your Roadeo?

I have SON dynamo hubs in two of my bikes. The drag is completely unnoticeable when the light is off, and almost imperceptible when it’s on. My ride data backs it up, too. If I get a Roadeo, it will have a dynamo hub. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

I don't notice drag with any of my many dynamo hub wheels (SP, Kasai by SP, SON, Shimano), but I _do_ notice a vibration at some speeds with all of them. It's subtle, but if you're riding smooth roads you should be able to sense it. Is it a problem? No. All non-racing bikes should have full time
