It's a pretty simple 3-pawl set-up. It all looked pretty easy to replace.
Didn't see what the pawls engaged with, but I can't imagine it would be
anything other than a piece of steel. Don't know the specifics on how many
engagements and whatnot.
I wouldn't dismiss Laguna as a poor test. Trails are steep and rocky and more
than willing to challenge the structure of that wheel. Interior riders will
tell you that dust has it's own challenges to seals. Norco DH team runs these
wheels as well, so it's not like there isn't exposure to broader conditions.
