This talk of discs has reminded my to upgrade my "do everything" bike. Muddy fields this winter combined with mudguards and V brakes has caused a lot of frustration with everything clogging up, and then freezing up when I don't clean the bike and leave it overnight. Disks would allow more mudguard clearance and work better in the mud (and when I have ice on the rims, which you only tend to notice when it's too late).
My frame/forks (Surly Troll) will take disks but I need a new front hub... so now seems like a good opportunity to get a dynamo hub, disk brake, and light that will take power from the hub. Ideally I'd also include a way to charge other devices when the light is off too but this can come later.
Rear hub is already disk ready so I'll keep that (the dream would be a Rohloff of course but let's not get carried away). Which brands should I be looking at for dynamo hubs and disk brakes? Thanks Forum!
