In the thumbnail is my freehub after running a new set of wheels for 1700 km. From how I understand the "anti-bite" feature, it should prevent the cassette from gouging further into the soft metal of the splines, by taking up those forces on the strip of steel on one of the splines. And that seems like a reasonable idea, since further gouging beyond a cosmetic issue would prevent removal of the cassette.
My question is whether the higher torque caused by a mid-drive torque might one day overwhelm the steel strip, resulting in a locked cassette to the freehub. So far, I don't see any evidence of the strip giving way, and I'm normally under the assumption that the allowable torques of standard bicycles -- although tested by ebikes -- should still tolerate this sort of application.
Does anyone know of scenarios where the anti-bite strip fails in-situ? Note that this isn't a particularly pricey freehub, and I mostly built up this wheel as a long-term test to see how long it would last. For when it does fail, I plan to rebuild with a DT Swiss hub, finances allowing.
Oh yeah a G510 can put a ton of torque through the drivetrain. Easily as much as the system I used. BTW I had pretty decent luck with KMC X11e EPT. It's an ebike-specific chain. That today I'd probably use Shimano LinkGlide (CUES) drivetrain since the whole thing is made beefier for use with mid-drives. I don't know if LinkGlide chains are compatible with standard Shimano/SRAM systems.
Currently, I'm having good luck with my KMC e9 EPT chain; I've not totally understood how KMC's lineup works, so I'm not sure whether x9e or e9 are substantially similar or not.
