  • Picked up a Son 28 secondhand for a fair price. Having never owned a dynamo hub before I was, I think just expecting a slight constant resistance when turning the axle by hand compared to a non-dynamo hub. This one feels much more like a cup and cone hub with a pitted bearing surface, very regular clunk clunk feeling (not sound!) when turning the axle. Is that the norm?

  • Yep. That is the magnets moving between the different coils on the hub. Very normal. Most son hubs are smoother in this regard than others brands however.
