All dynamo hubs will feel sort of lumpy as you spin the axle in your hands, it's the magnets creating that resistance. My SON hub felt that way when I got it new.

Of course you may have an issue with your bearings but it's unlikely with such a new hub and SON hubs are good. Apparently the wheel should spin and as it slows to a stop it should rock a little between two of the 'bumps'. If it feels gritty as well as bumpy then there might be an issue.

what they said - a dynamo hub wont spin like a normal hub and if you spin mine by hand [ shimano not son] you can feel the magnets as you do so

it wont spin as freely as a normal front wheel but this is normal

The Jutter are just the internal magnets, as above if feels gritty then thats not so good
