The problem with Dyno lights for me are.
-Cost, finding the right wheel and hub combo is hard, and having one built up can be expensive.
-Cant easily move the system between bikes. I have 26in wheels my girlfriend 700.
-Mounting of the light its self. Most lights are mounted somewhere around the fork and cant be moved in motion. I like to be able to move my light around during the ride.
-Cant quickly be removed. I don't like to leave small pricy equipment on the bike. It could get stolen or just damaged by some jerk.
Those reasons just out way any benefits a Dyno would have. I would love to have a Dyno-hub and light for my girlfriends and my bike but right now I just don't think it would be right for us right now.
