Hi all, I was curious about the effect on drag of turning my dynamo headlight on or off.
So I flipped my bicycle over, spun the wheel, and compared "light on" to "light off." The answer, unremarkably, is that the dynamo does cause some drag. Maybe more than I expected. But I'm curious - can I reduce drag even more by unplugging the dynamo wires? The answer is probably clear and obvious to those who understand how these things work, but I couldn't really tell from my clumsy attempts to spin the wheel and compare. Hard to know if I'm spinning with exactly the same force, etc. Does anybody know the answer? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
