Hope you don't mind me asking, which roller wheel are you using on your b&m dynamo? The standard dynamo came with the usual rubber wheel, however you could up grade it to a wheel which was a wire brush wheel.


I don't mind at all, Cycle Tramp. It's the standard rubber wheel. Are there disadvantages to the wire wheel? If that's the solution to slipping in the wet, should the wire wheel not come as standard?

Thinking about it mine might be a 6 rather than an S6. Whichever was the cheaper one.


I never found the wire wheel to slip, but using the wire wheel did mean that i had to set the tension of the wire wheel against the tyre with care and i always had to choose a tyre with a dynamo track

I have hundreds of MDs ... :shock: :roll:
A shortcut has to be a challenge, otherwise it would just be the way. No situation is so dire that panic cannot make it worse.
There are two kinds of people in this world: those can extrapolate from incomplete data.
