Dec 30, 2001 2:07 PM | | Instant engagement huh? When I was at home over xmas break, I was working in my dads garage and he has a open ended "ratchet" wrench...and the ratchet mechanism was instant engagement, I thought it would be cool to adapt that somehow to bikes. King and its 72 engagments points...HAH. |

Dec 30, 2001 2:37 PM | | a ratchet wrench relies on a pawl system, similar to most hubs out there from what I remember. It isn't as instant as you might think, it is simply harder to find the gaps between points. If you move it slowly you'll be able to notice the gap.
The silent clutch system is completely different |

Jan 2, 2002 11:02 PM | | I do know what a standard ratchet is. This was an 'open ended' wrench, one side has the crescent the other has the full. The full side has the instant engagement, absolutely no ratchets whatsoever, just continuous and smooth and locked up exactly wear you stopped. I wanted to tear it apart, but never got around to it. |
