What is the ratcheting mechanism used for the hand brake (05 XT)?
Is that a common failure point?

Mine doesn't work when it is really cold (7F and below it seems) I can barely feels the teeth, but they won't engage.
Seems to work fine (or better) when the temperature goes up.

Don't use it below freezing.

Yup, I never use it under like 25F
