Details of this DIY charging unit for dynamos popped up over at the Bike Forums and I thought it might be of interest.

The new for 2012 SON28 is lighter than the previous version, has a bit less drag, and is styled much like the SONdelux. They will be available in polished (as shown) and black anodized; 32 and 36 hole drillings; standard connector or SL, and three basic types: non-disc as shown above, a Centerlock disc version and a version for ISO disc, both shown below. Since the flange diameter is smaller than the current hub, 40 and 48 hole drilling isn't possible, so the current hub will continue to be made in 40 and 48 hole drillings.

Hi Stuart
I am looking going to place an order with Starbike.com for a SON hub so just double checking if I may that the SON 28 in black as shown at is the same one as you got? The dynamo names just confuse me.
Thanks
Andrew

The original is now called Son 28 Classic.
If you want the Son28 then the one in the pic is probably the one to go for as its the new and improved lightened version.

I'm considering the Supernova Infinity 8 at this stage. It's on bike24 and I'm in no rush at this stage to get it as it will be a next year project for me. It will be using it across 2 bikes. My new recumbent and my Masi. I will most likely mount 28mm tyres one stage and do a comparison between the son28 classic and the Supernova Infinity 8

I'm struggling to find their warranty information on their website.
Any idea if they match the five year warranty of all Son products?

I have a strong suspicion that these guys are the designer, or even the Chinese manufacturer, for Supernova. Two models with virtually identical features. A case of badge engineering in bicycle components?
