Re: How Much Do Dynamo Hubs Really Slow You Down?
My message from that is if you’re not so bothered about speed, the shimano hub produces more power at low speeds at the cost of greater drag and under half the price.

My message from that is that would be faster on the dynamo if i weighed more.
Reaistically if you use a dynamo hub [ I do] then you basically wont notice it in use. Its not like a brake rubbing or headwind.

Change tyre pressure when you touch a road.
That'll help more than not running a dyno hub...
