First Ride: OneUp Launches $599 Aluminum Wheelset

I had the ratchets on a DT DEG hub fail on me after only a couple rides from new. The ratchets were sticking in the hub shell and not extending fully to engage, likely due to too much grease from the factory. It was covered under warranty. The replacement star ratchets didn't have performance issues, but there was some chipping on the teeth after a few months of riding. My take is that this design is sensitive to proper maintenance and greasing, compared to a high-quality pawl mechanism.

@JesseMelamed: I can see how a setup like that is possible. The issue for me is that I inevitably get too excited on a descent and ride like an idiot and blow something up. Any tips on how to keep it in check?

Pinkbike Poll: What Made You Stop Caring About Enduro?

The gear side used to be more interesting as well, with riders trying different things to optimize tradeoffs for the variety of tracks in a course. Now, with more consistent courses, everybody runs a similar type of setup and it's less exciting.
