I would add one other issue: Make sure that small screw and nut is tightened before every ride. That's where I lost mine. When I get my new one from the kickstarter, I'm going to put a cable tie tight around it. That'll disable the ability to use it on another bike, something I want to do, but I won't lose it that way. Or maybe I'll glue the mount to the arm and not rely entirely on the bolt. I'll just make sure I use a glue that can be released. I just want something so I'm not relying on a single screw that shouldn't be tightened too much.
Hey, I'm with you. I said that I wanted one, and that I expect that there IS less drag than traditional dynamos. I'm just not willing to accept the price tag yet.
