Crikey! I sure wouldn't want a dynamo hub failure like that if I was riding far from home.

I've had a "normal" front hub fail in exactly the same way 20 years ago.
Luckily, the new 'quick-release' style hubs are mechanically more sturdy.

Well, if I prove unable to repair it and I have to buy a new one, a
quick release is out of the question. To me, quick release is a synonym
of quick breaking and quick stealing. Combine that with a hub dynamo,
and you add to that hard to repear and appealing to theves. Out of the
question.

I already started looking at the hub dynamo options, and I found at
least one manufacturer, Shutter Precision, that seems to only make quick
release ones, so that is one less to choose from, leaving only Shimano
and SON I think.
