I just noticed that the Axle is now unthreaded so it won't damage the aluminium kingposts on the later models and suspension models. 8)

After speaking to ICE about the SA dyno hub they said they didn't like it as it was too agricultural feeling! (Notchy and high resistance )
So I asked if they'd just built the wheel or had they actually fitted one on a trike and test ridden it?

He responded that they had only built the wheel and that because it felt harsher Notchy with higher resistance than the SON when spinning by hand they decided to stay with SON.

I suggested that they try it on a trike as I can't feel any drag either with or without lights on + there doesn't seem to be any vibration at any speed up to 38mph and that I'm getting light from 1.6mph( flicker's a bit ) which is ridiculously slow so even on a very steep climb I still have lights.
I'm running an AXA 70Lux front and an AXA RIFF with standlight on the rear.

I'm waiting for his reply after new year
