<font size="-1"><font face="Verdana">You'd be looking at two different
types of generators. One basically rubs against the side of your tire
to spin the 'dynamo', and the other resides inside your front hub. The
basic one (that rubs against the tire) slows you down quite a bit more
than the hub one, it wears down your tire, and it's not as efficient.
The one that goes in the hub, however, is far more expensive and will
basically require getting a new front wheel. The hub dynamo does
provide much less resistance, and will be able to light your way much
better.</font></font><br>

Would anyone make any recommendations on non-battery powered light
systems they give a thumbs up too, as well as know the relevant
web-site for purchase?
