Dynamo hubs are multi-purpose, they not only need to power your lights, but they also need to be fast, light & strong – for this we have Shutter Precision.
Dynamo hubs are often an upgrade from your existing hub, even without their powering ability!
Shutter Precision is our preferred brand for dynamo lighting, and we have been building with them for years.
Their reliability & serviceability is next to none, and we definitely recommend them. They are a great price point & will last you tens of thousands of kilometres without fail.
Most of the hubs from Shutter Precision have the same output, the differences in pricing is to do with compatibility. The different hub types you see listed above are for different types of forks & brakes. Your hub needs to work with your brake type, such as rim brake or disc brake. If you have disc brakes you will also need to confirm the type of disc brake you have. Centerlock & 6 Bolt disc brake types require slightly different hubs. This is to do with the ‘flange’ on the hub itself.
Once you have confirmed which brake type you need, you also need to determine if the axle width or length is compatible. If you are unsure you can remove your bike’s current axle & see if it has the dimensions printed on it. Alternatively if you know your bike model you can look up the specifications for your model. With this information you can confidently purchase a dynamo hub!
But if you are concerned about choosing the correct hub, we can help! You can give us a call at our bicycle repair shop & we can help you find the right parts.
We can also talk you through the wheel building options for your dynamo set up too.
