It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Less weight primarily: Dynamo hubs are fairly heavy.
Sleeker look i think, and probably lighter
that's cool but I probably can't afford it if I could even get one here in the first place. and I just laced my wheel with regular hubs...
Yeah, 480 euros is kinda steep. Maybe one day I'll replace my battery powered light with a dynamo but not today lol
