Anybody tried the Sturmey-Archer X-FDD Dynamo Drum Brake hub? I'm
thinking about one of these for my cruiser, with the idea that a hub
brake might be good for winter commuting. Plus, it has 36H, whereas
the Shimano has only been available as a 32H for several years.
I have one, and I've built it into a wheel, but the bicycle it's meant for
isn't ready yet, so there's not much I can tell you about it's operation,
durability, etc. It seems well made and the drum brake works when I pull
the lever by hand. The dynamo side of the hub has the same three-lobed
design and electrical contacts as the Shimano dynahubs, which probably
means that it's manufactured by Sanyo and is probably close in performance
to the Shimano hubs.
