Yes, but the information may be useful to others.
I started using dynohubs on my folding bikes before getting involved with building wheels with them. Eventually I built a wheel for my road bike using a Shutter Precision hub I got on sale (probably because it's red...). I had several thousand miles of good performance out of a later-generation Joule hub on my Tern folder. This hub was also made by SP, so when the rim wore out, I built a new wheel with the existing hub. I used a different rim, so new spokes were required. This hub has almost 10,000 miles on it now.
The reference I use mainly is Roger Musson's
Professional Guide to Wheel Building. I also refer to Sheldon Brown, Jobst Brandt and Park Tools, but Musson's book is clear and straightforward and I've annotated my own printed-out copy over the years so I have my own tips and tricks at my fingertips. I don't build wheels often enough to remember all the details between builds!
Built this 7ooc wheel while laid up with a broken ankle. :-)
