So I am new to dynamo lights at all and am currently deciding between SON and SP front hub for my bespoked ti tourer that should be availble soon. My budget does allow me to get the top of the range SON hub, but is twice as much money to a SP hub really twice as good? I could think of 110 things I could do with the money saved if I went for a SP hub...
I don't know which ones in particular I want yet as it's all very confusing and am currently going through the many pages of this thread... but it is very confusing...
I don't plan on any super long tour anytime soon but I am lazy so once parts are on my bike they tend to stay on until they are broken...
I'll probably use the bike for my daily commute on some days... because why not?
Any advice? Suggestion? Can someone just tell me what to get? Please!
AIUI the flange spacing on the SP hubs is quite narrow, especially for the disk versions; some wheelbuilders won't recommend them for loaded touring for that reason. Shimano and SON are supposed to be better in this respect.
