I don’t think you read what I wrote. I said that DT was a low-drag system, especially with their low POE ratchets.

You do realize that this is just a patent*, not a flushed out product, right?

just all the shards to sweep up when you pull an inevitably failed one apart.

with discrete spring elements, and not every pawl edge exerting its own force.

DT’s Star-Ratchet took Gold in last Olympics, so don’t think drag was a factor.

Perhaps you should revisit the physics in terms of all the factors that influence drag in a hub. The number of POE is not the only factor. Look up “normal force” and then look up the equation for friction force and see how the normal force influences the friction force. It’s irrelevant what you’ve seen, especially since you haven’t seen this hub. After all, your opinion isn’t an objective measure of anything, and since such an appeal to authority is lame. Let us know when you test this hub. I hope you don’t design bikes and use “one-factor only” physics and engineering.

Oh, BTW: loads of people have claimed to have seen all sorts of things and then tried to use those claims as proof of something: Bigfoot believers, Flat Earthers, ghost hunters, etc.
