Folks,
Rode my new Bontrager xxx6 race wheels this evening. Beautiful wheels really stiff and aero.
I am writing because on the work stand I notice this is quite a lot of drag going on inside the rear hub, more than I have seen. If I turn the cranks to get the wheel spinning good and release the cranks the cranks will turn and turn on their own and also the wheel doesn’t spin all that long. The wheels have DT Swiss internals with star ratchets.
Wondering if there is a break in period, or if anyone here has seen this with dt hubs? Any advice appreciated.
Again the wheels are brand new.
