Yoshy bikes

That looks bonkers with 2.2's, in a really good way. How much was the disc tab addition out of interest?

Also, when I was doing some digging on dynamos a while ago I emailed SP about the XT dynamo and got this response: (original question was do you stock the XT 3w dyno hub)

"No we don't, but should be able to get one in to order. It's charging
devices that must have 3w, modern LED lights only need 1.5w, which
lets the hub run much freer.

Shimano dynohubs were proven to be good in the past, with few
failures. What failures we had were due to the cones wearing out. Only
one side was replaceable, despite the hubs being serviceable which SON
and SP are not. Can't comment on the durability of current Shimano
dynohubs since we've only sold a small anount in comparason to SP and
SON. I would say we've had a 1% failure rate with SP, but some of
these have been after the 2 year warranty, but we have nevertheless
underwrote the warranty.

SP hubs should last for 20,000km+ and guaranteed for 2 years. SON for
50.000km plus and guaranteed 5yrs.

For what it's worth, I've got a Kinlin XR26T built into a XT 785
(1.5w) centrelock on my bike, because I think it rolls much easier
than any other dynohub (noticed and commented on by the
wheelbuilders), except possibly the SON Deluxe. I could've had either,
but like the idea that the XT is servicable and I only use headlights.

We can bulid one up on the Kinlin and the cost would be £155 with XT
or PD hubs.

Let me know what you think?

Kind regards, John."

FWIW, I ended up with an SP because I got a very good deal on a 2nd hand (albeit as good as new) full wheel build with an SP PD-8, for not much more than the hub costs. It's worked faultlessly, although I've hardly put it through the ringer. I was planning to remove the wheel when I didn't need the lights but have ended up just leaving it on and don't really see any reason not to.
