Hubs
$405.00
Originally developed for the extreme demands on suspension forks and disc brakes of mountain bikes. They allow the precise and secure attachment of the wheel and also stiffen the suspension fork. For mountain bikers, who do not want to miss a reliable power supply, we have made hub dynamos for 15-mm thru axle for quite some time. Meanwhile, manufacturers of trekking bikes, fatbikes and gravel bikes increasingly value this technique. For these the new 12 mm standard is particularly suitable.
Axle: 15x100mm
Rotor: 6-bolt
Color: Black
- for lots of light even at low riding speed
- also for various charging tasks using a charger

The SON28 has a bit more power at low speed than the SONdelux so it's a bit better for those who use the hub's power for charging a GPS or mobile telephone on tour.
Some suspension forks are now being made with 110mm dropout spacing. This allows the disc hub to have symmetrical spoke flange spacing for increased lateral loads. Black, Silver or red only. No photo yet, but these look about the same as the 100mm version above, just a bit wider. Flange spacing, 55mm.
The Schmidt Dynamo front hub or SON (Schmidt's Original Nabendynamo) is extremely reliable and has almost no drag. Made by Wilfried Schmidt Maschinenbau in Tübingen, Germany, the hub is quiet and is designed to give at least 50,000 kilometers of trouble free riding between servicings. The hub powers many different six volt headlights including Schmidt's own Edelux II LED headlight and assorted taillights, both older halogen and LED headlamps and taillights made by Busch & Müller in Meinerzhagen, Germany, plus Supernova and Spanninga lights.
Many cyclists want to charge a cell phone or GPS while they ride. The SON hubs are ideal for keeping your GPS going. There are several AC to DC converters for this purpose.
When your bicycle can make its own light, it becomes a reliable means of transportation, not just a toy or play thing for an afternoon's entertainment or exercise. With an automobile, you take its lights for granted. You get in the car, turn on a switch, and drive on down the road with the light you need. With the SON, you can take quality lighting on your bicycle for granted, just as you do in a car, making your bicycle just as convenient to use for everyday transportation as an automobile.
SON dynamo hubs have a five year warrantee.
Thru-Axle forks and hubs are much better for bikes with disc brakes than are traditional hollow axle hubs because Thru-Axle hubs ensure perfect alignment of the disc every time you install the wheel. But with a dynamo hub, there's a catch. Standard hubs with Thru-Axles don't require the skewer to be as tight as it would need to be on a traditional hollow axle hub. The skewer only needs to be tight enough so that it doesn't come loose while you ride, whereas a QR in a hollow axle hub must be tighter, lest the hub work its way out of the dropout. So cyclists with Thru-Axle hubs quickly get used to installing the skewer less tightly than they would with a hollow axle. This can cause trouble with a dynamo hub.
If the dynamo hub is not held tightly in the Thru-Axle dropouts, the hub will vibrate a bit and the axle will rotate. If it rotates enough there will be stress on the wires and the spade connectors embedded in the axle. Either the wires or the spade connectors will be damaged, and no power will come from the hub.
When you first install your SON Thru-Axle hub, carefully notice the orientation of the connectors. Perhaps align them straight down if possible, with the wire then looping around and up the fork blade. Ride for a few minutes with the lights on, or with your phone charging. Then stop and notice if the connectors are still pointed straight down. If they have rotated a bit clockwise, you'll know that your skewer was not tight enough. Make the skewer tighter and do the experiment again. Once you have the skewer tight enough so that the connectors never rotate, you're good to go.

The SON 28 is available in polished (as shown) Silver Anodized, Black Anodized, Red Anodized, and Blue Anodized, Orange Anodized, and Light Green Anodized; 32 and 36 hole drillings (blue, orange and green, 36 hole only); standard connector for normal forks or SL, and three basic types: non-disc as shown above, a Centerlock disc version and a version for ISO disc. Since the flange diameter is smaller than the current hub, 40 and 48 hole drilling isn't possible, so a special version with larger flanges is made for 40 spoke and 48 spoke wheels.
