And the issue is obviously exacerbated by the large torque easily created with a 42-46t rear cog.
BTW, the area around the pawls and springs was greased, but there's certainly room for more. How much grease should they get?

Don’t pack pawls with grease, they can stick down, damage the hub or your front teeth. Oil on pawls, I use Mobil 1...doesn’t get thick with the cold.
