I have one, new, never installed custom built 406 mm front wheel with
Schmidt dynamo hub. You can ride through the night with freedom from
batteries with this wheel. Never have to deal with monitoring battery
charge status, carrying extra batteries, being left in the dark when a
battery you thought was fully charged isn't or have to discard a worn
out battery again. The Schmidt hub is the lightest, most efficient and
highest quality dynamo hub available and the only one made in a version
specific for small diameter wheels. This wheel uses the rare extra cost
24-hole version of the Schmidt hub to save weight and reduce spoke air
drag. The 24-hole Bontrager Maverick rim is lightweight at 305 grams
and came standard on the front of the Trek R200 SWB recumbent.
The specifications are as follows:
Schmidts Original Nabendynamo, small wheel version, 24-holes, silver
Bontrager Maverick 406 mm rim, 24-hole, black with machined sidewalls
DT 1.8 mm (15 guage) spokes laced 2-cross with silver anodised alloy
nipples
High quality custom wheel build
Total wheel weight: 1006 grams (very light for a dynamo wheel)
$290 plus actual shipping cost
