Tim,
I had an eventful ACL blowout, reconstruction and rehabilitation into which
cycling fit very well. Probably too well under the circumstances, but the
net result was the reintroduction of cycling as an enjoyable activity.

Hi all,
I was curious about the effect on drag of turning my dynamo headlight on or
off.
So I flipped my bicycle over, spun the wheel, and compared "light on" to
"light off." The answer, unremarkably, is that the dynamo does cause some
drag. Maybe more than I expected.
But I'm curious - can
my understanding is that when you spin wheel you will notice drag, but it
doesn't generate as much power as your legs. So when you are actually
riding at high speeds the drag is less noticeable. I could be wrong. i've
got dyno hubs on all my bikes and haven't felt noticeable drag, but then
agai
Too bad it's not one size smaller. I'd be silly and buy another frame. n+1

To the question posed in the original post:
The drag will be the same. Unplugged or Off, the load on the hub is the same.
It's an open circuit.
The thing I don't know is what the drag would be if you shorted the hub
terminals together

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
Andy,
Thanks for the report of success. When the doc mentioned a stationary bike
for motion without a load, I thought it had promise also. Once I get past
surgery and into rehab, I'll let the PT determine when I'm ready for it.
But, by then, I will probably have a new smart trainer set up in my t

Tony, for Friday (10/14), it looks like I'll have most flexibility in the

morning. A catch-up would be delightful.

Actually, shorting the terminals will do no damage at all, at least not to
any Schmidt hub. And I doubt it would damage any other dynamo hub. It's
nothing to worry about.
Also, the drag the OP noticed with the bike upside-down is real, but the
effect is exaggerated if there's little or no mass bei
What about some of the forks they sell at SOMA? They have a variety of fork
styles in both 1" and 1 1/8". Here is an example:
