Yesterday I went to check on our bike generator that's currently on show at Pavillon de l'Arsenal, Paris (https://www.pavillon-arsenal.com/fr/expositions/12805-energies-legeres.html)

I see we have improvements to make regarding vibration. After several months of regular use, many bolts got loose and rattle.
