Not a hub, but....
I've hit the bottle as a temp fix while I build up an SV-8 wheel - nordlicht bottle dynamo from ebay 2nd hand, plus a generic mount. It's running front and rear ligts (Cyo and generic). The mount is flexy as anything but surprisingly it holds the bottle no problem and I get a nice steady light for the commute now I have replaced the roller.
I have only tried it once in the wet so far which was not a good experience. The light varied between standlight and nowt. I've adjusted the mount and just waiting til the next rainy night to see if it's helped.
I'm not a bottle convert but I will keep it around for those"new bike, not got a dynamo wheel yet" times. Also I wanted to try one out to plug a knowledge gap.
