DESCRIPTION

32 Hole Model DH-3N71  HUH10     buy buttonClick for current price

The DH-3N71 is the new generation in Shimano's power generating front hubs.

This new model is Ultegra/XT quality level, with double contact bearing seals and highly polished bearing surfaces. This results in very low drag and good weather resistance.

Requires No Batteries
No worries about battery charge level.
Low drag, weather protected
Drag with the Nexus is only slightly higher than with the much more expensive Schmidt hub. But far less than with a tire sidewall generator when the light is turned on.
Shimano's Dyno hubs can power most 6 Volt lights.

Model No. DH-3N71  
Over Lock-nut Dimension 100 mm  
Axle Length 108 (QR)  
Spoke Hole 36H or 32H  
Spoke Size 14 and smaller  
Hub Dynamo yes (6V, 3W)  
Spoke Flange Diameter 80 mm  
Weight 740gm

DH-3D71 Model
for use with disc Brakes HUH09 buy buttonClick for current price

Basically the same as the DH-3N71 above, with the addition of a spline mount for use with Shimano disc brakes (disc sold separately.)

This hub comes with a protective rubber cap over the disc mount, so even if you don't immediately plan to invest in a front disc brake, you can use it in the meantime.

New! Problem Solvers Center-Lock Adaptor   BRD120 $23.95/ea. buy button

The Problem Solvers Center-Lock adaptor allows 6-bolt rotors to be used on Center-Lock hubs.

Features and Information

Center-Lock
  • Fits XTR, XT, LX, Deore and all Shimano Center-Lock patterned hubs.
  • Does not fit XTR or XT wheelsets due to clearance issues with hub flange
  • Does not fit Saint hubs due to the larger diameter of Center-Lock OS
  • 6061-T6 anodized aluminum
  • Troubleshooting: For easy installation, try using a cassette lockring. Install the lockring over the adaptor to push it all the way on, tighten the pinch bolt to proper torque, then remove lockring and install rotor. This helps ensure proper adaptor alignment. The lockwasher can be removed from the mounting bolt as it may cause the adaptor to twist out of alignment as bolt is tightened.
