Does anyone here have experience with the S-A X-FDD dynohub with drum
brake? I'm considering of a new wheel for my commuter/tourer. I'm
particularly wondering about the effectiveness of the brake for fully
loaded touring.
My main experience with drum brakes is with my old Australia post
utility bike is geared down to about 30 gear inches and the Sachs drum
brake pulls it up well, but it rarely goes above 15km/h...
One reason I'm considering this but is that Shimano, in all their wisdom,
has decreed that only the 32 hole nexus dynamo hub shall be sold down
under. (and I can't afford a SON)
Cheers
