Dynamos engaged both were spun up to whiz-bang top gear speed in the workstand and allowed to coast to a stop. Both put out bright headlight/taillights but the French Super Sport unit spun a good bit longer than the German generator, a win for Marchal.

Very cool! I'd like to see that between a Sanyo hub dyno and a Shimano or SON, but we'd need rollers or a drill/disk rim drive for the front wheel.
