I love mountain biking! I am enjoying working on my technical skills such as cornering, manuals, 180's, 360's etc. also have a lot of fun racing the clock. I love trail building and have been having a lot of fun riding and maintaining the trails at Spring Mount PA.

Review: 6 Months with the New DT Swiss 240 DEG Hubs
@tcmtnbikr: What I meant by that is it is equally possibly to hit the right spot as it is the wrong spot on a low engagement hub. e.g. if there are 36 points of engagement, there are 36 opportunities to hit the best spot and 36 opportunities to hit the worst spot. But yes, I agree, more likely to hit the "Bad Spot" on a higher engagement hub.

Review: 6 Months with the New DT Swiss 240 DEG Hubs
I am kind of tired of the "High engagement hubs cause more pedal kickback" argument. its kinda b.s.. a low engagement hub IS NOT a solution to alleviating petal kickback. it is possible you will hit it at exactly the correct spot and the low engagement will prevent the transfer of backward energy, but it is also equally possible you will hit it in exactly the wrong spot and get exactly the same feedback as a high engagement hub. Plus I guarantee what most people think is "Petal Kickback" while cruising down a trail at 15mph is not petal kickback at all. It's likely your blown shock hitting bottom out or ramping up and jostling your feet around. You have to be going so slow for your rear suspension to compress faster than the rotation of your rear hub.
