I'm looking for a dynamo hub and was set on getting the SP PD-8 then noticed that Alpkit do their own version which is much cheaper. Are they basically the same thing but branded differently?

The Alpkit one doesn't have a 15mm axle option - might not matter to you of course.

Is that the same one as the exposure revo too?

They're not, but they do look similar.

I think the SP's are Taiwanese rather than Chinese.

FWIW I've just built a wheel with the Alpkit hub. It works is all I can say so far.

I stand corrected the juice one from split is Chinese and 12 grams header and could be different internals/quality of. Did have too look twice as external at a glance the juice looks like a PD hub

But the revo was made by PD for exposure though.

Thread resurrection - anyone got any experience of the Alpkit hub over a few months' use?
