This wheel was hand-built by a friend of mine who knew what he was doing! After two years of commuting and one major long-distance bicycle tour, this 36-hole Sun Rhynolite rim is still true, without any dings, dents or nicks to speak of. The bombproof rim is laced to the Shimano DH-3N70 dynohub (which you can read more about on the Peter White Cycles webpage), for an ultimate touring or commuter setup. Let's just say that I didn't earn the nickname "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" for nothing!
The dynohub has a small terminal on the side, which can be wired to power front and rear lights as you roll along. I could sell the complete wheel with a brand new (never ridden) Michelin World Tour tire, Busch & Müller Lumotec IQ Fly Senso headlight, and Busch & Müller 4DToplight Senso tail light for $200, or $225 shipped within the continental U.S.. The tail light plastic is slightly cracked on one side, but it does not affect the functionality of the lighting in any way.
