It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

The bulbous dynamo hub is dead. Long live this new sleek SON 29 S hub dynamo that you won’t even see hidden behind your disc brake rotor…

What's the point of smaller hubs? What kind of benefits do they provide?

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 11 points 3 months ago

Less weight primarily: Dynamo hubs are fairly heavy.

Sleeker look i think, and probably lighter

that's cool but I probably can't afford it if I could even get one here in the first place. and I just laced my wheel with regular hubs...

Yeah, 480 euros is kinda steep. Maybe one day I'll replace my battery powered light with a dynamo but not today lol
