1. I want to get herself a hub dynamo for Christmas. The excellent Mr Gerritsen of this parish advises that the NX32 is not as good as the old NX30, which leaves me looking for an old-stock NX30 or wondering how good the NX50 is. Has anybody tried the NX50?
2. Having miserably failed to find an LED front light which will fit the Brom [DIMIHAB], I phoned Bikefix yesterday afternoon for advice. They reckon only the standard Brom lamp will fit, so I purchased one. It arrived in this morning's post! Excellent service.
The Brom has now done over 1000 miles. Splendid bicycle.

Darth Ben said the same of the higher end models. The DH-3N70 is apparently superior to the 71 (Or is it 72) that is now on sale.

It was a DH-3N70 that Santa brought Roos last year, and aside from complaints that it's a bit boring because all it does is sit there and work perfectly, it's been very good AIUI. Pre-consultation with Darth Ben suggested that range was considerably nicer in operation than the old Nexus, so has herself been only a /moderately/ good girl to get a Nexus?

There are no real big difference between NX30 and 32. The 32 has cut-out section on one flange what makes it look lighter but really is a little heavier... The NX50 is designed for mounting a rollerbrake.
The new DH-3N30 has much reduced losses when switched off, cheaper than anything else, but even heavier than the NX32. Detailed information about modern hub dynamos can be found in this highly recommended magazine:

I had several replies by email as well, thanks all. I am going to try really hard to talk FiL up to a SON, but otherwise I will try to find an NX-30 since that is Pretty Damn Good and several people still have stock (allegedly).
