Just got my brand new 20in wheel with built in SON hub dynamo for my StreetMachine hmmmm! I have noticed as I try to spin the wheel holding it in my hands it feels very very notchy and assume this is the magnets, i didn't expect this, is this normal? Does it disappear with speed as it feels there is alot of resistance when i spin it slowly. I was expecting it to spin quite freely at any speed but until i mount it on the bike, I guess i won't really know if the notchiness or resistance disappears. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes, yes (at about, oooh, ~1 km/h). I never notice it's there except when the road gets a bit brighter in front of me. Don't worry, it's a superb piece of kit and I doubt you'll regret getting it.
