Your usual premature conclusions. I am very particular about what
quality wheel I want. I know how to build a wheel but I don't want to
do it. Simple, really.

I have purchased several dynamo wheels online, with SP and Shimano hubs.
They were not high quality wheels. They were $100-130 each. Higher-end
wheels are available for significantly more money.


If my rims are up I won't have them swapped anymore but likely will buy
the Vuelta road set from Nashbar that Jay recommeneded. No hub dynamo.


I know you don't understand these things but there are drivers who
come tearing around on a left turn cutting across the "empty" left
turn lane of the road on the left. To the point where the yellow lines
have worn.

The issue I see is that serial red light runners are most common on left
hand turns. When you're going straight across on a bicycle, you really
want to have a proper light of sufficient intensity to discourage that
sort of behavior.


Same for hurried people thinking they can just step on it and screech
through their left turn while I am coming from the opposite side. That's
how I had my first crash as a kid, into the right rear fender of a
Mercedes 300SL. Needless to say, the driver committed a hit-and-run felony.

Such attempts have also become less frequent since I have these bright
lights.
