Veering slightly off topic, but if you are thinking of a dynamo setup, I finally made the leap this week, so here is my perspective.

For the current addition to my main commuter, I am going with a prebuilt wheel from Unversal Cycles https://www.universalcycles.com/shop...s.php?id=35503. Other vendors carry this prebuilt combination, so they are not the only choice. I chose them since they tossed in a coupon code with signing to their mailing list, which helped to knock the price down a little. For a Dyad reflective rim with disc hub it seemed like a good deal. I would have preferred to go with a Shutter Precision and Chukker rim, but will see how the Alfine disc hub handles. I figure I can always build up Shutter Precision wheel once I feel a bit more confident in my wheel building.

I ended up ordering the B&M IQ-X front light, Toplight brake model rear light, and extra cords (just in case) from Rose Bike in Germany. Even with the $20 or so shipping charge to the US it was still a big savings compared to US prices. They had it to me a week after ordering, which is pretty impressive (the wheel took longer!).

I am putting it all together this weekend, so hopefully I can report back soon (my commute is 40 miles round trip).
