I actually wanted to do this upgrade on my giant hub but quickly realized my hub was too cheap and not upgradeable.
Gotta see if the DT Swiss on my Hightower will work with this upgrade.
Cool! Just saved a $100!That bike comes with the cheaper 3 pawl hub.
I never understood why more engagement meant better performance. I get more drag...
I haven't had too many different hubs ( hope, dt, Stan’s) and I never felt like one was so much better then another.
all the phish shows i've heard on youtube sound exactly the same tooSame. Every hub i have ever owned felt exactly the same. Only difference I notice is some went "ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ" and some were quiet. I really hate those loud ones. scares away the wildlife.
I went with the low noise option...Same. Every hub i have ever owned felt exactly the same. Only difference I notice is some went "ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ" and some were quiet. I really hate those loud ones. scares away the wildlife.
On the long downhills with no pedaling, I noticed my cheap Giant Talon was accelerating faster than other bikes with angry beesI get more drag...

I bet all of your guitars feel and sound the same too.

Chances are if you do not notice this upgrade then you probably aren't the level of riding for it to make a difference.
And pizza. All the same.........
The best $100 you'll ever spend on your bike. That is according to my online research, and we all know of it's on the internet it HAS to be true right?
Supposedly adding this little sprocket thingeymajiggy and going from 18 points of engagement to 54 points of engagement in your rear hub, is supposed to make the bike feel more responsive and help with climbing over technical stuff.
Everyone I talked to that has done this, has loved it, so we shall see if I notice anything when I go for a ride on Friday.
My only question is, why don't hub makers besides I9, make these standard in your hubs already if they are so swell???
What type of wizardry is this? Will it work with a Shimano freewheel ? Link please!
