has anyone got any further with experimenting with this ?
Seems a shame that some clever chap can't design something to use with a miniature alternator. It sure would be better than the stock alternator and a whole lot cheaper than the PMA mods seem to sell at at the moment .
I was thinking it should be possible to fit a friction wheel directly onto the drive chain in the same manner as the chain tensioner arrangement for stretched wheelbase hardtails.
The drive shaft could presumably be extended in order to fit the alternator away from the chain
