Looks like I've killed the bearings on the SP PD-8 I've was running on my 29er. Laced up in and in a truing stand it wouldn't even manage 1 1/2 rotations. I assume it was the two very wet trips to Wales this summer even though I'm sure I managed to keep it out of all those well over axle deep puddles and river crossings... Thankfully LBS and distro are sorting everything. Checked the one I have on the road/cross bike and that's still spinning well! Phew!

Dynamo hubs in general have quite a lots of resistant, I'll have a look at mine.
They have slightly more resistant than my SON hubs.
I know... I checked it side-by-side in a truing stand with a newly built PD-8 on a similar rim for comparison. The bearings in mine were definitely a lot worse for wear.
