Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

the unwritten rule is that after the first couple of pages, a thread has a life of it's own, independent and separate from that of it's creator (sock puppet, troll, spammer, etc.).

sooo... let the worthless drivel continue.

Incorrect.

The only guy I know with a dynamo hub, uses it on his 30 speed Campagnolo equipped Disc Trucker.

That was a joke. I have dyno hubs on both my roadies and on the MTB until I mistook a mountain stream for a trail.

or will you go back to double sided hubs?

Now those bikes would give the "I need to be able to 'feel' the derailleur," guys a cycling orgasm.
