• Building my first dynamo-hubbed 700c wheel, likely a 32 hole SP PV-8 to a Kinlin XM-250 (both from Spa, £73 + £30), 3-cross with Cyclebasket's ACI or whichever db spokes.

    To check.... are there any special building considerations because it's a dynamo hub?

    If anyone knows of low priced improvements on the above choices, I'd be grateful to hear.

    Thanks!

    Nope !

  • Some people say that you have to be careful not to have very disparate spoke tensions, since the gaps between the magnets on the spindle and the magnets on hub shell are small, so you need to be careful not to distort the hub shell. That may well be twaddle and you should try to have even spoke tension anyway, so take it with a pinch of salt.
