I would check with Peter White, but my guess is that shorting the terminals on hub would be very, very bad for the hub.
I ride with dyno hubs on several bikes. With modern hubs and LED lights, the drag is negligible. Turning the lights off reduces the drag even more, but I like to have them on as running lights for better visibility. --Eric N www.CampyOnly.com CampyOnlyGuy.blogspot.com Twitter: @CampyOnlyGuy > On Sep 28, 2016, at 9:07 AM, Bill Lindsay <tapebu...@gmail.com> wrote: > > To the question posed in the original post: > > The drag will be the same.
