Concentric means perfectly centred. Wombolt family achieves this by having an interference (press) fit for the sprocket, instead of a slip fit

You shouldn't be breaking them at all

150 bucks to save 2oz of non-rotating weight in the centre of mass of your bike... Save your money

Edit: Not to mention you won't have a concentric sprocket anymore, one of the underrated things Wom/Twom/Thunderbolts do

1. Please sell me whatever drugs you do. Batteries have a much lower energy density to gas, for starters. Batteries + electric motor is going to be heavier than a half-full gas tank + gas engine with the same performance

Never noticed the jail bit until now, lol'd

Best of luck

P.S. Can we expect a collab with Elmorro in the future?

I've not had any experience with Antigrams, but plenty with Ratchets. If it is indeed a 17mm Ratchet, then it is absolutely imperative that you have all 3 pawls and springs. The outer end of a Ratchet driver can move a bit on the roller bearing inside it, this is by design. By running 1 or 2 pawls you are allowing it to running eccentric (off-centre) and rub places it shouldn't do so (namely the roller bearing cage) as it rotates, which would account for what you've found

The textured (threaded) sides of the pins I suspect make all the difference, both grip-wise and shoe wear-wise

^ I was the one who initially lobbied for you for moderator there. We already had enough mods who wrote something that was stickied and then went on to spend their time posting photos of their bikes, you on the other hand spent all your time in the trenches of vague help-me-fix-my-bike threads that would give even the most patient people headaches

I took them off a couple years ago while I decided what to do with them. I was going to give them to kkmk but he never collected and I have lost them in a move :| I had considered trying the next increment down in bolt length, particularly for the ones  next to the spindle (essential pins) and wanted to explore the possibility of actually using plastic in some way for the outer pins
