Sheldon Brown's Dynohub page woefully out of date! (for shame!)
http://sheldonbrown.com/dynohubs.html
I was fantasizing about building up a front wheel with one, and stumbled across the page. No mention that Shimano kit is now available stateside or that Sturmey Archer has resumed building such hubs: http://www.sturmey-archer.com/hubs_fh_XFDD.php Think if the children stumble upon this misinformation! Oh noe! |

It's worse, he should know better! http://sheldonbrown.com/harris/light...her-x-fdd.html Of course, this means I should really lace up a new 20" wheel so I can have a way-cool electrical setup on my lightly-used tandem. http://wiredcola.blogspot.com/2007/04/more-on-tandems.html That photo does not show the (stock on that bike) bottle generator, but you can see the headlight, and you can sorta-see the taillight and the Sturmey-Archer drum brake hubs. The rear is a 3-speed, of course. -- Ryan Cousineau http://www.wiredcola.com/ "My scenarios may give the impression I could be an excellent crook.

Generator works great. but the drum brake's kinda weak. Do they break in? Of course, the reason I wanted it was so I could mount studded tires, and not be afraid of snow buildup on the rims. If it's slick, a brake I won't lock up is probably a Good Thing. |

No mention that Shimano kit is now available stateside or that Sturmey Archer has resumed building such hubs: I think the word "Dynohub" is a Sturmey-Archer trademark, so when Sheldon Brown writes about Dynohubs he means only S-A hubs, not Shimano og Schmidt dynamo hubs which he calls "generator hubs". There is a link to these more modern generator hubs on the Dynohub page. -- Regards |

There is a link to these more modern generator hubs on the Dynohub page. That is my understanding, and that's why I always capitalize "Dynohub." It is possible that Sturmey-Archer may have allowed their possession of that trademark to expire. I notice that their current generator hubs are not described as "Dynohubs" on their Website.
