- Kirton, Devon.
Sorry all, I'm a bit mithered about dynohub choice for my 'blingy' wheelset ...,
To recap: Archetypes in polished silver.
Option 1: Son28 is my first thought with the VO Grand Cru touring-hub rear ... both polished, both large flanged, just spendy. £165 + £110 = £275 for hubbage alone.
Option 2: Shimano 3DN80 with Ultegra 10spd rear approx £70 + £70 = £140 saving £135! Very practical but no bling/desirability :-(
Or maybe there's an option 3? A middle way?
Shutter Precision PV-8 with the Grand Cru hub .... £90 + £110 = £200 still £75 saved and with full shiny bling.
What are peoples thoughts on the SP dynohubs? Do they offer any clear perfomance benifit over the Shimano?
Is saving £75 on the Son28 a false economy I'll regret?
I'm not commuting, so I'll not be racking-up hefty miles, it'll be for evening club runs and night rides/occasional Audax usage, but all year round and all weathers.
I'll also have a chat with DRC wheels who stock all the above and will likely build them.
Cheers FF
