Dynamo Hubs

Howdy

Thinking about picking up a dynamo hub prior to some upcoming night-time riding, as I'll want lights for longer than the 90 minutes I usually get from my batteries. Needs to be disc-brake (6bolt) specific, though I've seen center-lock to 6bolt adaptors. Thinking that this one will do the trick at the mo:

Has anyone on here got/used a dynamo hub? Any recommendations for a specific hub or lights?

I go for months on AAAs before changing them

I currently have a Lezyne Macro Duo and a SolarStorm X2 with 4x18650's.

The X2 will last around 90 minutes and the Lezyne maybe 2 hours with both on their brightest.

What lights do you use that last months?

Whilst it's not quite as good as the SONDelux

Yeah, the SONs are a bit over-budget tbh

I'd also love a SuperNova Plug, but it's pricey!

Yup, I have one of those exact torches for nipping out to the freezer in the garage when it's dark. Absolutely useless for riding fast down an unknown country lane at midnight.

Spend a bit more and you could easily get an XML-T6 or U2

My SolarStorm X2 has two XML-T6s. There isn't a battery pack out there that will power it throughout an entire night.
