@broken_777 Oh dear. Perhaps you're right, but as I see it the fault is with the parts choice (mine) not wheel-build. Apols if this^...^ seemed odd! Only got good vibes in your direction dude.

Most dynamos, apart from schmidt deluxe wide body havequite crappy flange spacing and bearings sitting very near the centre of the hub. Hence the flex of the wheel.

So yes it seems the hub may well be the root of this. Shoulda got a schmidt.

re: the skewer being the problem, it's a pretty nice chunky Salsa thing, can't see why / where that could contribute.

Think I'll do some longer rides as it is and see how bad it really is over a day.

Then probably start again with a schmidt. ££££ arrg

The salsa skewers are still open cam. Worth testing a closed cam if you have one lying around. Ive noticed a massive difference in wheel stiffness going from open to closed cam before
