Cool. Thanks for the info. Sanyo is more affordable. I can afford to shell out $150 anytime. I will need the wheel before this winter for commuting and occasional weekend training/touring. I will switch to the sidewall dynamo during the rest of the year.

And 30 Bikes!!!! holly molly...i only have four, and i thought that is one too many

Oh...and ever crack open a hub dynamo? i wonder how difficult or easy it would be to maintain one. I will crack open one of my bottle dynamos. I will need it for spare parts, so i dont see why not. Could be a good learning experience.

Cheers..
