>>1797923Speaking of the ratcheting mechanism in freewheels: I was wondering the other day if wear on the internal pawls/teeth is a thing that happens to bicycles that coast a lot.
Like, if we theoretically consider a situation where someone almost always coasts without pedaling like, let's say, an e-bike/motorized bicycle or someone who takes their bike on the bus to the top of a long descent and only uses it to coast down to work every day or something.
Wouldn't they have to go through freewheels a lot more than normal riders, since the pawls are always smacking into the teeth?
