Its a weird thing... But us brits don't like/use table saws. If we need to cut a straight edge we clamp a straight edge to the surface and run a circular saw or jigsaw against it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when the contact point of the dynamo is on the outer edge of the wheel, then the diameter of the wheel is irrelevant. The speed at that point of the wheel will equal the speed of the axle relative to a point on the interfacing surface (the ground, or the tread belt in this case). You'll get the same output from the dynamo, whether you run it straight off the road or off the edge of the tire. (This is all assuming a fixed speed, so the dog running as fast as the bike goes)
