It sounds like a good idea. I don't know if it's game-changing though. Have to see how it works out. The Son dynohubs don't have a lot of drag under no-load conditions.
Funny that he says he doesn't read forums any more, when he showed up here he didn't do too well for himself
As far as cheap dynohubs go, the Sanyo that Peter White sells for $50 seems like a good deal
