Good choice. The rolling resistance on the Son hubs is so low I leave the lights on day and night. I think it cuts down on the number of cars making unsafe left turns in front of me. The next challenge is to wire in a rear light.
Between myself and my two Adult Sons we ride with 2 Schmidt SON dynamo Hubs and 1 Shimano Dynamo Hub for several years now and have Never had a failure . We also have 2 smaller bikes (BMX) with Shimano Dynamo Hub that my Sons have outgrown but get used by the neighbor Kids an dour Nephews . . . . . and a Pioneer rear (Drum?) Dynamo on one of the other Bikes . Love the Dynamos , they work all the time and never need Batteries . Busch and Muller Headlights on the front of each Bike . Ride on !
I really liked that your video wasn't just straight information, but also included the nice videos of the bay area. It isn't just the destination, but the journey is enjoyable too!!!!
I know this is an old video but I just now have Dynamo Hub now going to have to wait until June to have my wheel built. It's going to be nice to have it for sure.By the time you buy all the parts you need and have a bicycle shop build it.I can say it's not cheep at all.This new setup is going on my Surly Disc Trucker it's a 2018 year model bicycle I have it loaded down and pulling a Bob Trailer too. I got the Shutter Precision PD-8 QR 6Bolt Dynamo Hub in Black.
I just had a son delux hub built into a velocity dyad rim. I also have the edelux upside down version mounted on my Velo Orange Passhunter and love it. Another great video!
I'm happy for you & your hub... I seldomly ride at night or in traffic but wanted to add some bling, I have the Big Cobbers front & back, quite the light-show I must say 🤗
Re the flat from a small piece of glass. I use Slime in my tubes which fixes most tread punctures on the fly. Also, I installed a "kryptonite" tire liner. This is on my 700 X 23 tires. I've heard that tire liners can sometimes slip or move around and cause problems but I've not experienced that. This is a necessary method for me because I cannot change those skinny, tight-fitting tires without pulling out large clumps of my hair. Yes, I need to up my tire changing skills...
Great video!! Thanks for sharing your experience with the new hub. Looks fabulous and really can't get over the 24 hour turn around time. Last wheel that I had built took two weeks. LOL!
At 11:36, did you purposely lower the music and wait until you entered the building to turn it back up? Production value +2 points for the effect. I noticed.
Serious, with this high quality of videos you make, Jan should really consider recruit you into his team for marketing! (Just check his youtube channel and nowhere close, in quality and quantity to what he writes in BQ and Blog!)
That's freaky! Your local bike mechanic is called Omar (like me) and shortly I'll be a qualified bike mechanic too - every time you said "Thank you, Omar", I had to suppress a "You're welcome"! Bon continu Henry (P.S. You've swung it for me - now I'm _definitely_ gonna join the Generator Hub Club to complete my tourer build - oh, and epic sunset shots as well!)
Awesome! Congratulations on getting your bike mechanic qualification. The generator hub is a great investment. Not having to think about battery lights gives you such a sense of freedom. Not having to worry if it's getting dark and you have just a few minutes of light left. Enjoy!
I use a SON hub on my Disc Trucker. It's an awesome hub! Laced it to an Alexrims DH19 with double butted Wheelsmith 2.0/1.7/2.0 spokes. Have the SON headlight and taillight as well as the USB charging port too.
Henrywildeberry I mounted the light on the front braze-on of my Surly front rack. Mounted the taillight on the rear braze-on on the Surly back rack. (With some mounting hardware). Wish UA-cam would allow images here. I could show you 😉
Another great video. Love the beginning the opening graphics! Your light setup is superb! I have the exact same on one of my bikes!! hahaha. What's not to like? Ms Cools B&M headlight has a beam that is good as the Edeluxe, although that light is not as tough -- but Ms Cools light is also much cheaper. The Shutter Precision hub is as good as the Schmidt: and a hell of a lot cheaper! (I do have a wide body Schmidt -- it's fantastic -- indestructible, and almost no drag, even when on.) There is really no reason to not have generator lights these days: the son-in-law almost won the Frederick, Maryland Gran Fondo last weekend, and he rode his Widebody Schmidt hub and had his light on the whole 100 miles! (look up results for McLoone...) Dyno lights are not slowing anyone down...
That's great to hear! I'm always on the fence between spending a few extra dollars to get something well made. The trouble with dynamo's, as you know, is you have to build it into a wheel. If something goes wrong you have to take the whole thing apart to have the hub fixed. Unless I start learning how to build wheels, one faulty hub could negate any savings. I figured the SON has a good enough track record to be worth the extra price. So far so good.
I love all the Schmidt hubs. I have built many wheels for friends over the years, and always ask others about theirs, and have the son-in-law who works in bike shop tell me about what he hears -- and Ive never heard of a failure! I had one of the older ones I got in 1998...and that thing had 50,000 miles on it and it rolled fine when I gifted it to a friend who still uses it. Also, I must say, the Schmidt wire is damn tough, and worth the hassle to get to wire a tail light and such...
Back when they were building the new bridge aside of the old one, it was amazing going across on the Amtrak/YARTS bus at dawn. Gawd I wish I could find a job (ie, one I'm trained for) around there somewhere. BTW, schweet looking wheel. Not enough silver in the bike world any more.
We have similar bridge crossings in Seattle and I have to say that, although I enjoy the water view, they are very unpleasant with traffic noise. Next time I will wear earplugs. Looking forward to your long term impressions of the generator. For me personally, the runtime of a battery light is so good now that I wouldn't bother with a generator unless I was a daily commuter or on a long tour.
Generator hubs and lights cant be beat in 2018. You cant charge a battery pack with a battery light; youll ALWAYS have a situation where you DO run out of battery...and the lights themselves are simply not anywhere near as good at illumination as a light like the Edeluxe II. Also, a wired tail light is simply safer: it is beyond bright, and always bright. And, besides, it is great fun to ride at night under any circumstances, and not worry about your lights. Also, with a Sinewave, you can run your phone or music or whatever off the generator hub...FUN!
The dynamo has a capacitor (a flux capacitor 😆) built in and will keep your front and rear light illuminated for about 5 minutes, or while you wait at a stop light.
Hey Henry!! Curious if you have any regrets or further thoughts about the SONdelux Wide Body hub? I'm working on my 650b wheel builds and have been eyeing that hub
Ben Geldreich Hi Ben, no regrets whatsoever. It adds a little weight to the bike, but running lights day and night is worth it. I no longer have to wonder what time it is or if I remembered to charge my batteries. If you’re like me and want to stay out on trails watching the sunset and not freak out riding home in the dark it’s worth it. Plus the Son is so well made and looks beautiful. An investment I wish I had made a few years ago.
Great video! And you have great taste -- I'm also running Brevet rims and a SONdelux Wide-Body (but I have the first-gen Edelux light, that I also keep on all the time). But you might consider learning how to build wheels; it's not difficult, and it's enormously satisfying -- although a novice like me sure can't beat Omar's overnight turnaround!
In most applications where you'd consider a dynamo hub you are better off with the standard SON 28, not the delux. A little heavier, but more electrical output.
Congratulations on joining the Generator Hub Club! I'm still charging batteries. Are you going to power a rear light by the SON hub too? Can the hub do something neat like charge your phone? I was wondering why you went with 32H in the front? I guess 32H may be strong enough for a front wheel and your weight & expected load? Do you have 32H in the rear too? Do you expect the rear to eventualIy crack again and did you up the spoke count from what it was when it last cracked (maybe that would make it less crack prone, despite the design)? Did you ever have the original Super Champion 40H rims, if so what was your impression?
Thank you! I’m not sure if the rear rim will crack. My expectation is it will eventually, and I will need to swap to the newer design. I may take that as an opportunity to rebuild the wheel myself? I am planning to run a rear light with the hub, and you can charge a phone. It’s recommended to charge an auxiliary battery and then use the auxiliary battery to charge the phone. The voltage output of the hub is variable depending on wheel velocity and some phones need a steady voltage or they will not charge. I haven’t tried the 40 hole rims, or even a 36 hole for heavy loading that would be an option worth considering.
Well, nice to see such a cute couple out riding lots. I can ride 125 miles, but it takes 14 hours with 2 long meal stops. That son hub is the best... without a drum brake, that comes with my SA XL-FDD. Set and forget for 24,000 miles, except for a bearing change. It ate 4 bearings and the magnet grabbed the crumbs. LOL Still rode it 15 miles like that. I just can't figure out why so many people keep buying those POOR lame cracking eyelet rims. Doing things over and over while expecting a different result, not. The round profile is like a bouncing ball. The eyelet does NOTHING but make the hole bigger and corrode to the rim. I doubt the new rim will last much better. No LBS will say this of course... Like another commenter here, I have used 5 black Dyad rims on heavy bikes, over 50,000 wheel miles. Good as new, even when I way over tightened the first one, then backed off 2 turns. I've been over 45 mph a bunch of times. I have a heavy 203 mm disc Rohloff14 also working great. Just my 2 wheels weigh 14.5 lbs. LOL I rode a 3,900 mile tour this summer, thru BC, to Seaside Oregon and back to Alberta. I didn't even see an accident the whole trip. I also have the E-delux light, works great, always on. I mounted it the same way except on the right side, to see the gutter better and get it away from drivers eyes. The light twinkles on the spokes too, to great effect for the side view.
For me it was aesthetics, and figuring they would probably hold my weight okay. Hopefully, the rounded profile will distribute the spoke tension into the rim a little better than the flat profile. I'm sure they also strengthened the rim by making the aluminum a little thicker around the eyelets. A better design would be a triangular shaped rim, such as the Velocity Dyad as you mentioned, and it would add more of an aerodynamic value. However, it would also look more modern, and for no practical reason I like the look of a simple polished boxed section. I guess I'm willing to give these new rims a try, because I've been able to get a year out of the older weak ones. Mavic had similar problems on their SSC rims and thus thickened the material around the eyelets. By removing the non-essential material away from the spokes they were able to keep the weight down. However, this had a deleterious effect on aerodynamics, so that rim quickly fell out of favor among the racing cyclists. Now, it's all about deep section carbon, but they are very stiff. Grand Bois have a similar rim so I'm curious how well they hold up? It could be they are using thicker aluminum around the eyelets? Perhaps they are prone to cracking too? I tried a set of Velocity A23 with the eccentric rear rim and found they worked pretty well. I ended up crushing those rims at the brake track due to a pinch flat going too fast on a rocky single track. It's all good, I enjoy learning the hard way! HA!
Nice bike path you have there over the bridge, so progressive. In Australia we share almost all the roads with sometimes very aggressive motorists and police enforcing newly enacted laws that target cyclists with heavy fines I am just wondering why you choose disc brakes ? Love the down tube shifters:) I use bar end shifters on my touring bike and down tube on my vintage Colnago Next bike will be a custom randonneuring bike with down tube shifters Love your vblogs Greetings from Thailand :)
Not really. There's a little variation when the power is sufficient to have the light full-on (based on wheel size and dynohub choice), but in general, with LED lights you only have to be going about 5 mph to have full power...it may flicker at 3mph...but if your going that slow, just walk...
Thank you, Charlie. I appreciate the feedback. It could be from the wind on the coast. It's pretty difficult to get good on bike audio in windy situations. Each video I learn something new and how to improve, so I appreciate constructive criticism.
45 seconds into the video. I don't know what I'm watching, all I've seen is a cardboard box. Too long. I'm moving on to the next dynamo hub video. First thing, tell your viewers why they are here. They don't care about the post office, your morning ride, or the cardboard. They're here for the hub.
Thanks for the feedback. Without any hesitation I highly recommend the Son hub. It's more expensive than the others, but very well made, very nice looking, and worth every penny when it gets dark and you forgot recharge your flashlight batteries.
13 mins could be cut off the front. majority of a vid should be about the title topic,, so that's at least 9mins should be about the hub, exclusively. retitle this, "Riding our bikes and stuff around the Bay area" -1
These videos are deliberately done in a fun, sort of goofy way. I enjoy the puns and the familiar running themes (coffee, randonnuering, coffee, vegan food, coffee... ). May some of the editing is not the most professional, but I always thought that was deliberate?

I've been using a Schmidt Dyno hub for about 20 years now. But the Advent of high output LED lights has really made the generator hub the way to go

Thank you, Eric! The polished finish and high flanges made it an easy sell. I wanted to keep this bike looking as classic as possible.

Thank you, Robert! Yes, wheel building is a great skill to have and I can see how it would be very satisfying.
Problem is you have to buy the tools.
@Desi what tools? You don't need a jig. Just a spoke key.
16:02 front wheel NOT Turning . . . . . Must be some Major Resistance ! LOL
In most applications where you'd consider a dynamo hub you are better off with the standard SON 28, not the delux. A little heavier, but more electrical output.
Quite a lovely bridge 👌👌
I don’t understand how you arrived to the bike shop on the bike, picked up the wheel... but went back in the van.

Did we did we get to see the lights WORKING?!
I've always wondered, does it make a difference having a generator hub on a 700c wheel vs a 650b wheel?
Not really. There's a little variation when the power is sufficient to have the light full-on (based on wheel size and dynohub choice), but in general, with LED lights you only have to be going about 5 mph to have full power...it may flicker at 3mph...but if your going that slow, just walk...
I wonder what both of you do for a living? If you dont mind me asking. Thanks.
Ms Cools is a billionnaire.

I noticed mention of traffic noise in other comments, so I just want to say that I had to switch the video off at 7:30, because of the noise.
Thank you, Charlie. I appreciate the feedback. It could be from the wind on the coast. It's pretty difficult to get good on bike audio in windy situations. Each video I learn something new and how to improve, so I appreciate constructive criticism.
