Anyone know where you can buy a prebuilt *silver* 32 spoke dynamo wheel?
I recently accidentally left my front bike wheel sitting leaned against my car (while putting the bike in the back seat) and drove off. By the time I realized it and came back, someone had already taken off with it. :-(
So having to spend the money to replace my front wheel anyways, I was thinking of buying a dynamo wheel. Problem is, without spending some real cash on a custom build, I can only find 2 prebuilt dynamo wheels and neither meet my criteria -
1 - https://www.universalcycles.com/shopp...0&category=900
$150 - This is the same wheel all the bike shops can get from their distributor. It's just that it's black and silver, and I put a very similar wheel next to my bike and it just looked ugly.
2. https://velo-orange.com/shdyhubwh.html
$160 - Looks nice, but it's 36 hole.
I was just curious - does anyone know of another prebuilt dynamo road wheel that's silver? Thanks!

Basically, yes. I'd rather not spend over $200 on the wheel - the whole bike cost $600, and it's my commuter/leave locked up outside bike, so I don't want to put anything to expensive on it.
Seemed like it was another $50 or more to get the same wheel built up, non-prebuilt.

what's wrong with 36h again?

more spokes= stronger wheel. If you're going with a dyno you're not going for lightweight so you're banging your head against the wall for nothing. 36 is the number of spokes a wheel should have IMO anyhow.

the silver 32h hub is $90, I priced it into a delgado rim w/ silver spokes/nipples at $160 (+shipping)
Here is silver/silver for $180 on a 700c rim (+shipping):

36 spokes though

I did find the harris cyclery wheel before, but it's 36 spokes - it appears to be exactly the same build/wheel/everything as the velo orange dynamo wheel.
Thanks for the info!
