I find this quite fascinating. I'm interested more in why the high POE hub made such a difference, beyond ratcheting and tech climbing which I can understand. Does it have some influence when you are coasting, braking, or pedalling (rather than just starting to pedal)? I feel like when I'm descending I'm doing one of those things most of the time and on Bobsled, for example, I never pedal after the start. Do you think this factor would have some influence in a World Cup DH situation or is the descending benefit specific to steep janky descents with lots of up and overs?
