Dt370 has pawls according to Google. It seems to be upgradable to ratchet. Maybe a good time to take that opportunity?
Its really easy to sell them on it.Why does everyone seem to see higher points of engagement as an "upgrade"?
Because I have seen hundreds of borked pawl system hubs over the decades, and extremely few borked ratchet free hubs?Why does everyone seem to see a ratchet as an "upgrade"? Pawl systems done well can to my mind also be reliable and durable but with higher points of engagement.
Well. Let's not forget. For at least the first 10 of those years DT hadn't even released their ratchet design yet.Of course, that was my first thought, but doesn’t change what I have seen firsthand for 40 years
I've done two star ratchet knockoffs, I think the Novatec premium was the only pawl hub I have broken.Because I have seen hundreds of borked pawl system hubs over the decades, and extremely few borked ratchet free hubs?
Lol shit it's a finger I got 9 more and another pinky to pick my nose so I'm good...I'll be riding tomorrow just use my other gloves with pink hole and tape fingers..Damn, sorry bud. Hope you heal up quick with no lasting pain

Not even an impact, just landed on some slightly off camber dirt......pop.

We'll see how that Roval warranty/crash replacement is these days.
I did the 370 to 350 conversion a few years back. Can't really tell you if it was worth the upgrade (scored a 370 hub for stupid cheap, tools/parts still less than a decent used 350 hub).I think my DT 370 is getting borked (slipping under severe load).
Anyone familiar with those internals?
I am pretty familiar with 240/350’s, but not those.
Have you tried running less pressure?Not even an impact, just landed on some slightly off camber dirt......pop.

I gave up on pawls after exploding my rear hub twice in the course of a month, once on a bike trip to Moab. Yes, they were Shimano, but the thought the force of all that torque passing through three tiny pawls just didn't inspire confidence. At the time, "high-end" pawl-based hubs were I9. And they were the same price as King hubs. I'm still running my King hub over 15 years later. The only reason I'll probably stop using it is because it was originally a 135, converted to 142, and I'm not sure it's worth doing the 148 conversion... but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.Why does everyone seem to see a ratchet as an "upgrade"?

JHFC, I can buy an XT derailleur for the cost of the dumb plastic XTR outer cage.outer cage on my xtr rear derailleur seems to have borked.
anyone know the p/n for the replacement? appears to be fine other than the outer half of the cage.

That always baffles me.Hope are touted as the more reliable options...
That is why I run Deore mechs with XT shifters.JHFC, I can buy an XT derailleur for the cost of the dumb plastic XTR outer cage.
right? this is the first xtr rear I've had in years. any idea if the xt cage will work in it's place?That is why I run Deore mechs with XT shifters.
Let me see what I have in my box of random parts. I had to rebuild such a derailleur a while back. I bought a whole long cage assembly off of E-bay. Can't remember what was actually broken though. May need a reminder.outer cage on my xtr rear derailleur seems to have borked.

You missed out on 45 bearing replacements with the i9.....I gave up on pawls after exploding my rear hub twice in the course of a month, once on a bike trip to Moab.

Just out of curiosity, what hubs that use pawls do you consider reliable and durable? I seem to recall you're not a fan of Hope. Usually, I9 and Hope are touted as the more reliable options...
Pretty sure an xt cage drops inright? this is the first xtr rear I've had in years. any idea if the xt cage will work in it's place?
