Thanks for posting the info on this, I was unaware of these. Looks like a much better option than bottle dynamos. Does it make wheel removal more difficult or does it move out of the way so that it does not get in the way?

I already have a dynohub, thus am not shopping for one now. But if I wanted to add one to a second bike I might consider this instead. Since it would work on different size wheels, I could fit it to my foldup bike and later switch it to my 700c bike if I felt the need for it.
