This is true, but it is also *likely *the case that the Velogical can run on a (not too terribly angled) bit of rim wall that's NOT a braking surface. In fact, I'd be *very *surprised if that wouldn't work. On Friday, January 2, 2015 11:32:14 AM UTC-5, Jim Bronson wrote: From the site you

From the site you linked, The VELOGICAL dynamo is a so-called rim dynamo, because it runs on the flat braking surface of the rim If you have disc-specific rims, they don't have a braking surface... On Thu, Jan 1, 2015 at 1:02 AM, Mike Shaljian mikeshalj...@gmail.com wrote: Jim, Why would I
