Solving Sticky Dt swiss Star ratchet problem.
Quote | Reply
I got a set of Bontrager Aeolus 7 tubular wheels.
It's basically built on DT swiss 180 hub.
(new version comes with 240 maybe...)

I really enjoyed it but sometimes....

When I kick a pedal with sprit,
crank arm spins together...

Other dt swiss users call this phenomenon
"Sticky hub"




So I disassembled the rear hub,
took out 2 ratchets and 2 conical springs,
wiped them out
and lubed them with dry-type chain oil.

It works superbly not showig the problem.
+ The ratchet sound got louder than before.




Actually I am little bit worried about "using chain lube" instead of dt specific grease..





Is anyone who had a similar problem here?
How did you solve it?

Stay home, stay healthy.
