I can’t afford it, but I bought the second to last one anyways.

To be clear, I’m not selling mine, but there’s one left over there in Germany, and with the current exchange, this comes out to a very good deal. And yes, my Rambouillet will look funny with black spokes in front, silver out back, but it’ll have lights!

I am tempted by this deal. With dynamo on one bike I am keen on outfitting my other bike as well. They have a wheel with a Shimano dyno hub for about half that price. For those with experience with SON and other hubs, is the price difference worth it?

I have two SON28 Classics and a Shimano DH3n80 (which is similar to the 3n72 Bike24 offers).  If you can afford the SON, the money is well spent, but if budget is a factor, you will not be disappointed with the Shimano unit.

Is the price difference worth it?  I never liked the buzz with a shimano dyna hub. Its not a lot, just there all the time A SON hub may buzz a little at the beginning of a ride if the bike has sat for a while, then goes away after 1/4 mile or so. Buzz meaning the magnet notchiness differences between the two hubs.

I have a Shutter Precision, and a Shimano on two different bikes, and I can't tell any difference, they’re both great. With this “delux”, it makes less energy at slower speeds, which means for less resistance/notchiness, but higher speeds gets me full power. This wheel is going on my Rambouillet, so less resistance was key to me, but slower speed light flicker will be worse than the SP or Shimano, maybe.
