No noticeable drop in light output or increase in resistance. Reckon that's about 3 or 4,000 miles.</p> <p>Drum brakes are great. I have one that I've not used much but it works really well. Nothing to choose in braking performance and that's entirely separate from the electricity.</p> <p>Happy to build the wheel for you if you like but really you should build it yourself for the full, regular, dearie me I built that, effect. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11084#post-124180 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 20:24:48 +0000 wee folding bike 124180@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've had an SA drum brake generator on the front of a Pashley for 3 years. Still works just fine, haven't had to touch it.</p> <p>I've never used a disk brake so I don't know how the stopping compares. Schmidt hub would probably be a bit lower drag but… it's on a Pashley. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11084#post-124176 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 19:18:39 +0000 Uberuce 124176@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm torn between converting wee blue floofy's front end to disc/dynohub or drum/dynohub.</p> <p>Disc gives the option of shifting the lights over to mileomnomnometer if I ever get a hankering for night audax, but drum is a monkeytonne cheaper.</p> <p>I would be most obliged if you good gents could feed my back with regards to how your drums are beating. </p>
