Hello Forum!
I'm toying with the idea of sticking on of these buggers on my commuter, keeps everything nice and clean.
Has anyone got any experience with Hub-Dynamos and Hub-Brakes? Sheldon Brown (RIP) wrote on his website that they were a load of **** on the front, but I beleive they have evolved over time and got better.
Anyone know if there is any place here in Perth I could try one out? Haven't seen any in the bikeshops yet.
Reason behind it? at the moment I have sidepull brakes on steel rims on the bike, and that it pretty bad in terms of stopping power. Bit too much adrenaline if it starts to rain
Cheers in advance for any help!
