My PB hardcore fenders rattle quite a bit. My SKS chromoplastics do not. Unfortunately, I didn't find SKS fenders in a 20/26 flavor. PB was willing to sell me different sized fenders for a single bike.

Assuming I love the dynamo setup I'll consider converting my existing commuter over as well, but was wondering if I could get away with spending less money on the hub for that bike. I have read mixed reviews on the Alfine, but it is definitely less expensive. Thoughts? Thanks again in advance.
My Alfine dynohub works fine after 10,000 miles or so, but has developed quite the buzzing noise at around 25 mph (700 x 40 wheel). The right side cone nut failed after 6,000 miles of use and was replaced. It was extremely difficult to find the replacement nut, no US distributor carried it. I resorted to importing it from the UK at a decent expense. This wheel has been subjected to touring, commuting, and light offroad. If I were to do it all over again I would have gone SON.
