HUNT SuperDura Dynamo Disc Wheelset
TRUE FREEDOM FROM CHARGING FOR YOUR BIKE-PACKING ADVENTURES, HASSLE FREE COMMUTING AND WINTER TRAINING
24 Deep | 25 Wide Ext | 20 Wide Int | 1939g
The Purpose
Created for 'Josh' types (Ultra-Distance Heros) but also enjoyed by 'us' types (a bit less super-human, but still want convenience when commuting, training and road/off-road bike-packing).
A dynamo hub is a an ingenious idea, a small coil of copper wire that spins inside a group of magnets to produce electricity, effectively it is an electric motor in reverse. You can then connect up electric devices such as lights, and never need to worry about having to abandon your ride due to lack of light. Following a large number of requests for a dynamo wheelset, our HUNT began for a lightweight and durable wheelset that provides you with freedom from constant charging of lights for your on and off-road bike-pack adventures, fast commuting and daily winter training.

The HUNT SuperDura Dynamo wheelset is the result. It features all of the fine details you’d come to expect from us, including our proven wide tubeless asymmetric SuperDura rim, extra sealed and shielded 4 Season Disc rear hub, and a seriously durable high 32-spoke build (of Pillar's light and extremely strong triple-butted PSR spokes). Even with the extra 240g of the dynamo hub, this wheelset (at 1821g) is still lighter than many disc-brake wheels fitted to bikes as original equipment.
For the HUNT SuperDura Dynamo wheelset we collaborated with SON (Schmidt Original Nabendynamo), we had long been aware of just how highly regarded SON are for their durability and performance. Wilfred Schmidt is incredibly passionate about dynamos so our chats with him excited our inner geek. Wilfred and his team have been engineering their dynamo hubs in Germany since their first prototype 25 years ago.
SON dynamos are renowned for their market-leading efficiency. When your light is drawing power (light switched on) the efficiency of a SON hub is an impressive 65%, so at the German testing standard of 3 watts / 6 volt dynamo output (11-12 mph with the SONDelux) just 4.6 watts of your rolling power is used. Of course, the light is always available, so no realising you forgot to charge and having to abandon your ride.
With the light off/unplugged (e.g. daylight riding) the graph below shows that for the SONdelux there is less than half a watt extra rolling resistance compared to a high quality normal non-dynamo hub. For a bit of context; for a 1-hour commute fast training ride, as very amateur cyclists here at HUNT, we would expect to produce somewhere between 160-250 watts average depending on our weight and level of fitness.
The deep thought and detail that goes into every SONdynamo sits well with our philosophy to HUNT for improvements in even the smallest details. The connectors used by SON are a great example; they are universal spade connectors available from most electrical retailers/suppliers/hardware stores rather than a connector that is unique to the hub design. This means that if the connector is lost or damaged far from home finding parts will be a whole lot easier.
Please note:
These wheels are adaptable for 12mm and QR axles. They are not suitable for 15mm axles.
Dynamo specific AC power charging devices or lights (Exposure Revo) are required to work with dynamo hubs. Read Less
Want to add tubeless tires?
We can supply or fit tubeless tires (including sealant) to your wheels.
The wheels are also designed to work excellently with clincher tires and tubes. See recommended tire options here.

Son Dynamo
SONdelux | Highly efficient, faster and lower weight.
Drop-bar road and adventure bikes are designed for going fast, whereas many dynamo hubs were designed for town bikes. The rapid advancement and incredible efficiency of LED lighting compared to older halogen bulbs has meant that lights such as the Exposure Revo (available as a package with these wheels - please click here) would run at its whopping 800 lumen output at just 10mph. SON realised that by using a smaller/lighter generator, they could reduce drag by an impressive 20% and still achieve the 3 watt / 6 volt output (800 lumens on the Revo light) at just 11-12mph. Even at 10mph, you will get upwards of 500 lumens from the Exposure Revo light! The super-fast SONdelux is the result of this innovative thinking... 20% better rolling resistance and lower weight, only 395g (the SON28 weighs 430g).
5 Year Warranty (incl. Bearings)
The unique SON Pressure Compensation System allows us to offer you a huge 5-year warranty on the SON Dynamo hubs including bearing wear.
SON Pressure Compensation System
All dynamos heat slightly during operation and then cool, the cooling of air in the hub body of most dynamo hubs can cause lowering air pressure inside the hub. This lower air pressure can lead to the suction of water through the bearing seals significantly reducing the life of hub bearings. However, SON dynamos feature their unique Pressure Compensation System which consists of an airflow port on the axle cap and inside the axle (as shown below) and an air reservoir tube.
SON Dynamo Pressure Compensation Port
The SON Pressure Compensation System allows air pressure to be equalised, thus extending bearing life to a huge 50,000-100,000 kms. The tube (shown below) is long enough that water doesn't reach the end, and when the dynamo heats up again air pressure increases and any air and water is forced back out of the axle end of the tube preventing damage.

Why only suitable for 12mm and QR, not 15mm?
"We would like to offer a 15mm option on these Dynamo wheels. Dynamo wheels (whilst being able to adapt to QR with a sleeve) cannot be adapted between 12 and 15mm (unlike a normal hub) due to the hub caps needing to be fixed and cabled for the dynamo to operate, and 12mm forks will not accept a 15mm cap as they have a small ridge above the axle interface. The AdventureDynamo wheels can adapt to any other current axle standard on the market, you just need to let us know what are your requirements by filling in the simple form on the confirmation page after checkout. Of course, we are looking at 15mm as an option in the future, but it would probably need to be 6-bolt to allow the larger ball bearings; ball bearing size is very small on 15mm dynamo axles if fitted inside a centre-lock disc mount diameter and around the larger dynamo axle thickness (needs space for wire to pass through the bearing inner diameter unlike a normal 15mm hub axle).
Apologies to anyone who was hoping for a 15mm MASON x HUNT Dynamo option, it was a difficult decision to make for our first dynamo option, and we, of course, want to serve as many riders as possible. I hope this explains it a bit more, we would love to offer an option for you soon. Obviously, since drop bar disc brake bikes are now becoming more stable in their standards hopefully these things will be simpler in future, here's hoping as it would probably make all our lives easier as riders. Thanks again and enjoy your riding, Tom Marchment (Hunt Bike Wheels | TheRiderFirm)
Low Weight, High Convenience - 800 Lumen Exposure Revo"Exposure Lights tried, tested and much loved dynamo powered light. Providing up to 800 lumens of power that is only limited by your endurance, it is the new must have for adventure riding, touring and commuting. Plus it's manufactured just down the road from us here in Sussex, UK. Up to 1 hour of light even when your bike is stopped!Stand Light Technology | When you stop, the Revo’s Stand Light provides ten minutes of light at 400 lumens running for up to an hour at a diminishing level. The retained energy allows you to quickly get up to full power when you start cycling again or get your tent up for a night in the wilderness.

Please include the weight of any luggage in your total rider weight when choosing the correct wheels. If a rider is over 100Kgs then an experienced bike mechanic should check the wheel regularly and it is advisable to use minimum 25mm tires at max 100psi as this will reduce the fatigue on the wheelset. We are cyclists ourselves and do of course go above and beyond to offer excellent service if you ever do experience any issues. We carry full spares at very reasonable prices and offer complete support.
60 Day Ride & Return Period. We are certain you'll be impressed by the acceleration, low-weight, speed and durability of our wheels.

Tubeless Tire Options
These are only some of the options you can have fitted on your wheels. To see the full range, click here
Schwalbe G-One Allround Tubeless Tires - 35 or 38mmThe Schwalbe Tubeless tires consistently win plaudits from journalists and customers alike. We have been testing them for a long time and have been very impressed. The G-One's are Schwalbe's brand new gravel tire, designed to offer a low rolling resistance yet offer plenty of grip on gravel and dirt tracks. |
|
Schwalbe G One Speed Tubeless Tires - 30mmUnleashing profile and breathtakingly fast - especially when large volume counts. As a 30mm wide road race version with V-Guard, G-One Speed is a tire for the real tough jobs. You can ride it as a handmade tubular or with the most modern tubeless easy technology. But it is also a guarantee for maximum speed in the extra-wide 60mm execution - of course, not only at the fascinating beach races on Holland’s coasts. The new G-One Speed is an evolution of the former S-One and Big One. |

We are cyclists ourselves and do of course go above and beyond to offer excellent service if you ever do experience any issues. We carry full spares at very reasonable prices and offer complete support.
60 Day Ride & Return Period. We are certain you'll be impressed by the acceleration, low-weight, speed and durability of our wheels. We are cyclists and as such strive to offer class leading service and support. Buy with confidence, if for any reason you wish to return the wheels for a full refund of your order you can do so up to a full 60 days after you receive them whether they have been ridden or not. Please note we cannot offer refunds on wheels that have suffered from crash damage but do offer a crash replacement discount.

Schwalbe G One Speed Tubeless Tires - 30mmUnleashing profile and breathtakingly fast - especially when large volume counts. As a 30mm wide road race version with V-Guard, G-One Speed is a tire for the real tough jobs. You can ride it as a handmade tubular or with the most modern tubeless easy technology. But it is also a guarantee for maximum speed in the extra-wide 60mm execution - of course, not only at the fascinating beach races on Holland’s coasts. The new G-One Speed is an evolution of the former S-One and Big One. |

The Adventure Dynamo Disc is one option for 650B adventures, but their Search 29 Dynamo Disc mountain bikepacking wheels together with Mason Cycles are an equally solid option if you need a 700c/29er setup. Ride farther, charge you GPS during the day, and light the way at night – no batteries required!" |
