like super-ted, but bigger. And less super.....

I've had my rear a couple of weeks now. It's solid. It's light. It's all good. One thing though. It's LOUD. I mean, seriously loud. Much louder than my bulb. You don't notice it whilst riding, but I'd be reluctant to put one on an xc bike as I suspect it'd get annoying. Another thing. I'm not convinced it is better engagement. Sure, the engagement ratchet is deeper, which will avoid the problem I had with my bulb, and it should last ages, but I'm sure the fewer teeth means there's more rotation before engagement. Hope claim not, due to the four pawls, but I'm not convinced it works that way. And yeah, they should know a damn sight better than me but I'm stubbourn like that!! In any case, I can't tell any difference in use. Seriously, so far it appears to be a damn good hub. Oh, I almost forgot, the absolute best thing. The freehub body is now a much tighter fit, and the spacer (on the non-drive side of the through axle version) is fixed to the hub. No more struggling to align everything! Heaven rejoice!!!!
