Hello,
I would like to know if some people tried to put a dynamo hub on the front wheel of a Strida bicycle ?
I already found one sided hub from Sturmey Archer, the X-SDD Single Sided Hub Dynamo & 70mm Drum Brake

But it is not disc brake. So It might be difficult to find. Maybe need to be custom made.
My goal would be to have front and rear light using dynamo hub and the holes in the frame guiding the cables for the disc brake system. So a clean install.




Thanks !

I didn't know about the one-sided dynohub. I think you're out of luck

Running separate kinds of brakes front/rear is perfectly doable, even if disc front/drum rear would have been a more conventional configuration.
If you can find someone willing to build you a 16" wheel on a high-flange hub, go for it.
Using a length of shrink tubing to run the electric cable(s) alongside the brake cable to get a neat installation.

I think the X-SDD will work, but I don't know for sure. I would like to know if it is intended for use in a large wheel (26" or 27") or a small wheel such as on your bike. Large wheels rotate more slowly so they need power to come up at a low speed. If it is intended for large wheels and you put it on your bike, power will come on quickly, and the resistance will be more than it needs to be. That may or may not matter, especially if you don't ride fast. Don't ask me what "fast" means, because I don't know. That would be the only downside to your using a dynamo hub intended for large wheels.

Hubs for Tadpole recumbents will potentially work
Schmidt dynohubs offer several designs.. SON XS-M

All appear to be 6 hole disc mount.
