Need a connector for this dynamo hub
 
I bought this wheel from a friend, and I need the connector. Where do I find it? I've looked. The hub is a Velo-Orange, which I think is out of production.

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure those were made by Shutter Precision. You should be able to get a Shimano to work, did you try? I tried the SP on a Shimano and a Shimano on an SP, and both worked.

OK, can you provide a link to the connector or cable that will work? Thanks.

Ok, now that you've found the connector, what's that thing around the flange for?

You can turn it to dis-engage the magnets when the lights aren't being used to eliminate the tiny losses you get from that.

Stating the Obvious .. VO etched on the Hub so it seems sensible they would have the connectors ..

I looked and couldn't find the connector on the VO web site. As I said, this hub might be out of production, so VO's demand for this connector may be vanishing.

And as you can see above (you can, can't you?), [MENTION=13059]zacster[/MENTION] supplied me with the required info. I've already ordered it.

But thanks for trying.

For what it's worth, VO discontinued the hub due to quality control issues. Basically, lots of them stopped generating power. Yours could be a good one. It's a great idea. But if it stops working, it's probably the hub and not your lights.
