Everything that has been reported here about the Sanyo/Panasonic hubs I find to be accurate. They work, I don't notice the drag and I notice the vibration sometimes, and sometimes I don't. I already had one as part of a wheel set I bought last year for my commuter, and I paired it to a B&M Cyo Premium front and Secula fender-mounted rear.I took advantage of the Soma sale and bought 3 more. I've built wheels with the new hubs for my all-roads bike, my wife's and my son's bikes. On my other bike I have the IQ-X mounted to a rack and the same Secula model for the rear fender. I like that light, it seems to be bright, but I araely see it in action! My wife and son are sporting the Cyo and a B&M Mini Plus tail reflector/light which is a big reflector and a very mini LED.

Lighting gear, plus a few other amusing bits.
