Schmidt Dyno

[John Dewey]

Y'all, seeking collective wisdom.

What's a new Schmidts K179 6V-3W Dyno hub worth? 

I have one 4 sale, it's takeoff with no evidence of wear / tear @ 32 hole. Not NOS but might a well be.

Use your judgement? What's it worth to you? List it for sale, do you get any bites? Only lower offers? Purchased immediately? All information to dictate your choice. Err on the side of high if you really require the funds.

To summarize, it's not an exact science, and what anyone else will tell you on here, is highly subjective.

I think you might be able to get 25 bucks for it; I'd be glad to take it off your hands for that price to spare you the trouble :)

More seriously, last time I was looking at them (maybe a few years ago now) SON hubs seemed to mostly be in the $270-300 range. If I were selling a near-NOS one I might list it for $275 and be ready to accept offers.

Hi Jock -

I had a Schmidt K179 6V-3W Dyno hub many years ago on my original custom. As I recall, I paid about $200 for it. Given the availability of the SON Deluxe dyno hub, I would pay about $100 - the middle of the range of a Shimano DH-3N72 dyno hub. I've also had the Shimano and currently have a couple SON Deluxe hubs.

I've never noticed a difference in drag or output from any of the hubs when using the same headlight. Of course I'm a guy that bent the Campy chainrings on my Raleigh International just from pedaling.

Regards,

Corwin
