Please try soaking it in oil, [MENTION=73614]rhm[/MENTION]. I'd like to know how that works.
So far, the Sanyo on my wife's bike in the country works. I try it every few months. She's only used it for real once.
Someone mentioned some kind of stick-on sandpaper that should take care of the traction-when-wet problem. I bought it for some reason, because the likelihood of my wife needing it is ridiculous.
My Miller bottle dynamo screeches loudly when used. I should try soaking that in oil. Then again, maybe not, as I'll be replacing it with a hub soon.
