They're unrideable old 177 rear ends. Don't even know how they can work nowadays.Rub it in, bastid!
(Still fit studded D5's though!)

I took my hub apart and there is at least no metal shavings in it or broken pawls.
Though the pawls look different; inside vs the outside. The drive ring looks ever so slightly rolled over on the outside half as well.
I'm guessing if it flexes at all and the pawls are in the right (wrong) spot, it just skips or snap into place.
It is one of these generic looking jobs, with the circular ring for a spring.
Cleaned it up and put some fresh grease in it. Sp we'll see if it lasts.
I also noticed the one end cap was less than finger tight on the axle, so maybe that was adding to the flex or something.
Also apparently need to lube the chain on this thing. Don't check that very often riding on snow..

Super slushy today. Not a great demo for the oneups.
I think the "problem" is simply the outter two holes are small enough to be packed with snow, and there is a little shelf for the snow to pack onto.
Had to use my keys to remove this block of ice, which was overtop of the pins
The little ridges in the pedal body also seems to help with the packing issue - which is why my wife changed from her OneUp's to the WahWah's that I already had. It doesn't seem to happen as badly.Super slushy today. Not a great demo for the oneups.

Unsolicited update: I now have 12 good rides done on the Blizzard and it's truly a great bike. We got quite amazing conditions so far this season and I think Ilike fatbiking even more than I initially though I would. I find the experience is very close to mountain biking, but at the same time different enough to keep things interesting. I can see myself looking forward to the upcoming fatbike season next fall.
I am quite happy the C30 did not come with a dropper. I bought a OneUp v3 180mm and it is quite amazing.
Only downside on the bike: The Deore 12sp and/or Sunrace cassette is quite bad. The drivetrain is brand new and the hanger is straight, but the shifting is quite poor. It just doesn't seem possible to adjust the derailleur so that the shifting is good on the full cassette range.
One possible explanation is that I can't quite adjust the B-screw where it should be, as the derailleur bottoms-out before I can reach the optimal B-screw adjustment. It's not that far off, so I'm not sure the poor shifting is fully due to this B-Screw adjustment. I will also try changing the cable housing. It is brand new, but maybe it is kinked somewhere from the factory installation and it impacts the shifting performance. For sure, I will not tolerate such poor shifting for a long time. I will need to be able to fix it or it will have to go. I have an old GX 12sp drivetrain ready to be installed, so the Deore days on this bike may be numbered.

Is the problem the cassette? I have gone through a few Deore 12 speed derailleurs and they've been pretty good.
Maybe, I don't know. I don't have an xD driver to test a SRAM cassette. I'll continue the investigation.
Do you have side to side play in your cassette? I'm on freehub #3 on the SRC rear hub... cheese seems to be what they're made of.
