Just been onto Peter Matthews Wheels and ordered a new front wheel with a Schmidt SON 28 dynohub and a Schmidt Edelux II front light. I was trying to make my mind up between the SON Edelux and the SON 28 hub as the Edelux was described as 'lighter' by more than one webpage, but when I checked with Schmidt's webpage it turned out it was 50 grammes, which equates to about one small satsuma (how do I know that? 'cos I went downstairs and weighed one, that's how 
) and the 28 is rated better for low speeds (for when I'm out with the wife and kids you understand, not 'cos I'm a slow old git 
) and for charging 'devices' and the price was identical. Can't wait to see what it looks like and how it performs 
Just one word of warning, don't ring Pete if you're in a hurry as he loves a chat
This is not meant as a criticism in any way as he's a lovely bloke and great to talk to, and each time I've spoken to him I come off the phone feeling better than when I dialled his number
