DT Swiss 240 Ratchet DEG Deepdive
I’ve just spent a staggering 45 hours pulling apart, measuring, researching and comparing the 240 Ratchet DEG hub to its DT Swiss siblings so you don't have to.
All of this hub info including endcap matrix and axle charts lives on our website at www.wheelworks.co.nz/dt-swiss-240-ratchet-deg-deepdive/

Grimlock upgrades
Переглядів 3556 місяців тому
Grimlock is a classic case of making a prototype to test a concept, not really knowing if it’s going to work, but it does… and in fact it works so well that you never end up re-making those first bits until you really need to do so. #shorts
Spoiler alert: suits EXP Ratchet fans riding ebikes. Is that you?

The DT Swiss 240 EXP OS Hybrid hubs are here! They’re a unique hub for a very small subset of riders - is that you? They use an oversized version of DT Swiss' EXP system, a larger axle, smaller bearings, and a steel freehub body. Let's pull them apart and see how they stack up
Replace a spoke without tyre removal with this 3d printed tool
Переглядів 7 тис.Рік тому
If you need to replace a broken spoke, but not the nipple, you either need to remove the tyre and/or insert, or risk the nipple falling into the rim - it’s a fiddly and frustrating job. I couldn't find a good tool for this job so I’ve made one and now it's a super easy job. Let me show you how it works, how I designed it, and how you can get one for yourself.

Is it worth breaking axles for 690 POE?
Переглядів 37 тис.Рік тому
690 engagement points and an amazing sound are tradeoffs for poor bearing life and broken axles. We now know the Industry 9 Hydra’s unique design suffers these issues. So what can you do about it?

    I was riding my mtb once and after doing an uphill section, I found my rear wheel had a broken spoke and the upper cassette bent really bad. I have no idea what happened, I assume I hit a rock somewhere on a downhill and didn't notice. 😮

    How about a 480 POE, but two engagement points at 180° to each other.

  • @FIGHTTHECABLE
    @FIGHTTHECABLE Місяць тому

    I had an 18T ratchet in my hub and replaced it with a 54T ratchet. DT Swiss does not recommend this type of ratchet for my e-bike. However, when riding trails, the combination of the drive unit and the hub led to a lot of free stroke before engagement. So I was told to buy the EXP OS, but they only had ratchets with lower engagement points of a maximum 42T. So I decided to just ride the hub until it breaks.

    My trek 2024 powerfly 4 gen 4 hard tail e bike keeps on breaking rear spokes I dont do jumps higher than shin height. I've never done a tabletop nor will i. Its a e bike hardtail. Warrenty claim on rim. Its been 43 days and Trek cant supply one until Jan 6 2025. I cant even get them to supply more spokes. 14g 295mm . How can you make a $6500 NZ bike gear built to last on their web page and not even have spokes ? Not even 1 and ive been told there are no other rim upgrades for this model.......😢

    • @WheelworksHandcraftedWheels
      @WheelworksHandcraftedWheels Місяць тому

      It doesn't spin when in your hands or in the fork? If in your hands its likely the endcaps are binding - put the thru-axle into the hub and this will align the endcaps. If its not spinning in the bike it's likely to be the bearings are worn out. -TT

    As I'm aging I'm needing a bit easier gearing to climb up hills. Where I live it's all up and down. I have the 9170 group and was using an 11-30 cassette. I got myself an 11-32 Ultegra cassette which turns out to be all the help I needed. But, The eTube APP doesn't recognize that cassette therefore will only report the cogs that Shimano designed into the Dura-Ace compatible range. The cassette works perfectly and I wish Shimano would fix this so my Garmin would give me the correct gear ratios in the data screens.

  • @COOLBIKEyt
    @COOLBIKEyt 2 місяці тому

    I wanted to make sure. You said in 3:30, that dimensions of Ratchets are the same, but only on the cassette side, on hub side are different. So, I can't install EXP 54, instead of OS 30?

    • @WheelworksHandcraftedWheels

    I have 240EXP and I can't be happier. After two years I decided to replace the freehub body mostly because it was dented and that was impacting gear changes. I installed another DT Swiss free hub body - only this time with ceramic bearings. After months of usage all I can say it is: there is absolutely no noticeable difference compared to stainless steel bearings. If anything they'll wear slowlier but I'm yet to discover if that's the case. The only other difference is I've shaved off a few grams, but a very small amount, probably my 240 now weigh like the 180 hubs. That's all. But I don't think it affects my performance either climbing or on flat terrains.

    Odd question now. Straight spokeholes on the hubs, and change position on the spokenut to the hub. A grooved bead to the rim for the loop, or perhaps a coneshaped end of the string. Could be some savings weightwise on rotationmass. And neater look on higher rims, 45mm and up. Will be a bit fiddly to tighten spokes at the hub i guess, bikenerds are a masocist lot 😂. In my deranged brain i often think outside the box how to do things a diffrent way. Perhaps its only 10-15 grams in gain? What this is in watts at racespeed, people that know that feel free to share. 😊 Best regards from stockholm One day i might afford a set of these wheels.

    I have seen no hubs fail as much as industry nine. Probably 5-6 catastrophic failures in the past 8 years. I have seen the hub flanges crack free of the hub body, ratchet rings cracking and getting stuck, pawl springs cracking and of course, axle failures. I would love for these hubs to be strong but the reality is, they are not.

      This is partially true...straight pull are cheaper to make and at the OEM level where you're buying 10,000 at a time they're slightly cheaper. They often become more expensive at retail because they're often proprietary and the brand can therefore charge whatever they want as they know you need one -Tristan
