There are alternatives to rim dynamos as well. I recently did a "user" (i.e., non-technical) review of a number of different types of generators on my blog. It's fairly long, but if you want to start from the beginning, you can go here: http://lawschoolissoover.wordpress.com/2014/07/20/the-shocking-truth/. I evaluate hub dynos, bottom bracket dynos, sidewall dynos, and (the newest thing!) the Velogical rim dyno. It's not *definitive*, but it may be useful.
