Angling of flanges towards the rim center line ... that actually seems to be a good idea. :nerd:

Pretty sure most hubs do that, but they don't use SEEKER. I am not really sure what it does but it is in all caps so it has to be good. I tried to ride a hub that wasn't 3D once, super flexy.

Is that offset engagement (double time:rolleyes:) @Udi 's idea? Or is that something that is common in other hubs?

All this marketing is great, but it has me wondering, is it efficient?

where the trails are
well to say its "4-pawl" is techincally correct but all the load is placed on only two pawls at a time.
The I9 pawls are stepped (for contact) and engage three at a time (for clickity clacks).

There seem to be no real new standards here. Disappointing.

But it is SIDE SWAP SYMMETRICAL. No longer will I be frozen in fear trying to decide what side cap goes on what side. Normally there is only a 50% chance of success with a complete guess, not a risk I am willing to take.

Speedball: "The only adjustment they'll ever need was made back at the factory. With tolerances this tight the days of adjusting for play after every ride are over."

I honestly can't remember the last time I had to adjust a hub to take play out of a bearing. Or is this a subtle jibe at Shimano's continued use of cup and cone bearings?

I think Hadley were the first to do it in their 108 hub that only had 1 of 3 pawls engaging at a time, but a few of them blew up so they changed it to 2x2 for 72pt to have two engaging at a time.

Which is why most hub flanges have been like that for the last 50 years...

There must be some punk kid whose pops is a big wig at SRAM that comes up with this dribble.
Everyone is afraid to fire him or say no to his full tard ideas.

Kinda reminds me of a certain Sinyard Jr. who is currently dominating the stoner bar tape market... :drag:

Your face.
gibberish from Facebook:

Hands down my favorite line:

"20x110 interface already available on existing front hub "

A) Gibberish
B) Amazed they didn't introduce 22x1114



Its like marketing tourettes.
