Hey everyone, I wonder if anyone here built a 20inch front wheel around a Dynamo hub?

Planning on building a front wheel for my Omnium Cargo. Will be around the SP PL-8X thinking of a 406 rim, don't know where to start with rims that would work with this hub? same with spokes etc.

Is there anything i should look out for in this area? any recommendations from anyone who might have done this before?

cheers!

The dyno hub will be fine, built loads like these. Get yourself a 32h shallow rim, so the angle of the spokes is not as severe. Build it 2 cross for the same reason. You can also get the smaller Sp dynamo that's specific for small wheels.

ah brilliant, those are great tips, cheers dude.

Any ideas of what sort of rims to look at (my knowledge of 20in / bmx rims is v limited) So far i looked at the Halo T2 and Halo EX3.
