Hello!
Its time to replace my front hub and I thought I might as well get a dynamo hub.
Anyone have any recommendations on something that would stand up to the abuse it would get being fitted to my MTB?

Re: Dynamo Recommendation
Exposure/SP PD-8 PD8X (made by so but can be had branded as exposure) is popular and a good mix of vfm to weight. Evans have them at a good price with the exposure revo light if you just need qr fitting. The X with qr/15mm fitting is a fair bit more.
The cycle2charge stem cap Stu reviewed looks very good.

Re: Dynamo Recommendation
I've got an Exposure branded SP, seems to do the job.
Rose have the Shimano XT Dynamo hubs, bit heavier than the SP but a little cheaper.

I have a Schmidt Son Delux that is 4 years old on my Bullitt Cargobike never a single problem.
On my Shand I have a Schmidt Son 28. After 2 years of all year and all weather use it became rather notchy with some play Sent it back and got it fully repaired for free within 2 weeks.
Love them.
