Generator Hubs

[CCR]

Anybody had one before?, so far the only ones ive seen are 2 types of the same Shimano hubs, a Sturmey/Archer with a drum brake too and a disontinued Schmidt (SON) hub.

All are pretty much in the same price bracket just wonderin if somebody has any experience/problems before ?

i dont think the sturmey archer dynohubs have a brake in them.they look like a forewheel schwinnn brake but its just a generator..i have a dynohub wheel has some rust perfect for a rat 45.00 plus shipping

new ones do

Are ya talkin bout the 50's hubs with a hi flange on the generator side? think ill pass this time around but thanks for the offer.

I have an old dynohub laced to a wheel, really rusty and doesn't seem to move.
If I do get it working I'll probably just do a wind turbine project with it, unless I go cross-country or something.
