Dynamo for Touring
I plan to go on a long bike tour this Spring and the idea of using a dynamo for charging my lights and phone / gps sounds ideal.
Last tour I brought a battery pack with me that I could solar charge or charge at any outlet. It was nice, but the Dynamo sounds even better.
Where should I get started?

Another suggestion is the Calhoun Cycle site:
Dynamo Hubs and Dynamo Lights
Or Harris Cyclery:
Hubs - Generator - Harris Cyclery bicycle shop - West Newton, Massachusetts
Keep in mind that the power output of a dynamo is typically enough to charge a phone, but not enough to charge a larger tablet. If you need to keep more than just your phone charged you might find yourself needing a battery pack anyways.
