Incredibly profound yet fantastically flawed
So tonight I brought my new Niner into the shop just to get a reality check on something I've noticed with this rig. In short, it seems that I get delayed pawl engagement after coasting, something I especially notice at speed. It's not an actual issue - it's never caused me to drop the chain and the pawls aren't actually slipping. They just don't engage right away. It seemed really odd, so I brought it in to see if this was just me being overly sensitive or if it really is a thing. Scott at Evolution looked at it and said that he used to have the same thing happen on his bike and when he measured mine, he agreed that it is quite a delay. I have a Hope rear hub on this bike, and so we're going to replace the specific free hub with another that has more pawls and better engagement.
Anybody else deal with something like that? Like I said, it wasn't a problem with riding but it just didn't feel "right" for what I'm used to.
