  • Has anyone ever seen a hub properly dragging when the lights are on, as in noticeably? Got this SP PD-8 that is definitely not right, whereas I've never really felt the couple of watts or so lost to the magnets.

  • Yeah, I had an old alfine dyno that felt like I’d gone up a gear as soon as it turned on (ie I’d have to drop down one gear on the cassette to a lower one to maintain the same feel of cadence and effort). It then shortly went pop, so it may have been related!

  • SP PD-8 feels fine, and I'm never sure if I actually feel the difference between on/off. Shimano deore LX with 2.4W I can feel rattling in the bars as soon as I go over 25kph. I installed an Alfine recently but haven't ridden it yet. I can feel it vibrate through the bike on the stand, though.

    I saw some people recommend going at the bearings in shimano hubs, is this actually advisable?
