I've got a bike on order with the 'standard' pawl system Deore MS freehub body. I'm hoping that it will be more reliable than the XT one that I've had previously that would make horrific grinding sounds. People 50 meters up the trail would look around wondering what the hell the sound was. It would go away with a full strip down and lubrication of the 'do not take apart / lubricate' bits but always come back again. Deore hubs seem to be another area where 'min-maxing' makes sense.
