I’ll agree there are plenty of factors including rider, terrain, gearing, and maintenance that dictate how long they’ll last but they’re on my do not recommend list because I’ve seen fresh ratchets in fresh hubs that are stripped and when they fail it can really suck if you’re climbing hard or riding up some skinny log or ladder.
