“Grap”?
2 alternating pawls, so does that mean only 1 pawl engaged at once? Is that common? doesn’t sound right to me, all your power supported by 1 little bit of metal (but I don’t know how to build hubs)
Big chunky bearings tho, yeah I like the sound of that.
D0NK,
You’re right- only one pawl is engaged at once. The key here is that, as the pawls move out from the axle the same torque will ask less of each one. Will it work? We’ll have to see- but it sounds like the theory is that that price point 2- or 3-pawl hubs don’t truly have truly simultaneous engagement and that one or two are bearing the brunt of your pedaling at any given time.
