Excess Pawl And Spring Kit

Product Overview The Excess Pawl and Spring Kit provides four replacement pawls and a steel spring for Excess rear hub cassette bodies. The kit enables complete pawl system rebuilding or upgrade without requiring a full hub replacement. Compatible with Excess Bombshell SL hubs and other cassette-body hubs using standard pawl configurations.

Key Features

Compatibility and Ideal Use Cases

Common Issues Addressed

• Worn Pawls – Pawls with worn edges reduce engagement sharpness; replacement restores crisp power transfer
• Weak Spring – Weak or broken spring causes hesitation or incomplete engagement; new spring ensures consistent pawl activation
• Lost or Broken Pawls – Single lost pawl reduces engagement points; complete four-pawl kit restores full ratchet function

Installation Notes Disassemble cassette body carefully to avoid losing spring or small components. Install pawls with spring in correct orientation—improper assembly will prevent engagement. Test engagement by hand-rotating hub before reassembly into wheel. Consult Excess hub documentation for specific installation sequence if unfamiliar with cassette-body service.

Maintenance Tip Regular inspection of pawls during hub maintenance extends service life. Replace pawl kit when engagement becomes sluggish, delayed, or inconsistent. New pawls and spring improve hub responsiveness and reliability for racing and training.
