6-pawl/108-tooth conversion?
#1
Hello all!

I will be buying a new 3 pawl wheelset soon (Bontrager Paradigm Non-comp version), and was wondering if it would be worth upgrading to 6 pawls. I have access to all of the tools and can buy the parts required, but would it actually make a low end road wheel like this one any better?

Thank you!

Note that the more prawls you have, the more resistance you get when you coast.

I'm not entirely sure of the hyper behind them, except I know for a fact they are useful for street riders that need to be able to engage their mech instantly to build up the momentum they need for a jump, hop, etc., within the short space they have to start from.
