You dont need to remove the cassette to get to the ratchet

i was thinking the same..:)

First time owner of some DT Swiss hub wheels, will definitely do this as the noise is driving me nuts. And I say this coming from a set of Hope Pro 4 hubs which are notoriously loud, I think the issue is that the DT Swiss hub is much more metallic sounding than anything else I've ridden - and that includes FSA and Fulcrum which also have different pawl designs. On the plus side it's currently making me pedal more, anything to avoid the buzzing noise!

mine is too quiet. i just replaced the grease with chain lube and my pro 4 hubs are still way louder. disappointment.

So.. it sounds like you can work on your hub without removing your cassette. Just pull on the cassette itself, that will give you access to you hub ratchet system. FYI. :D

Also, screwing on you cassette just-a-tiny-bit-too-little may end up damaging the threads in your cassette of even the ones on your cassette body since you yank on it and all the force is put into one or two loose fitting threads. in other words: dont...

Yes, I do this. It works fine. Just yank, the cassette parallel to the axle. Then put it back by mashing it on. It is not an risk of falling off because the through axle and the dropouts clamp it shut.

Nice video, but you didn't show which parts you actually applied the grease on. Was it on the two ratchet rings?

It sounds like people like loud hubs, and completely silent hubs haha. I can see why people like both ends of the spectrum.

@@wheelzandgillz Yeah me too! I've never had silent hubs. Would be interesting to see what that's like.

How much end float should you expect in the free hub ?

I'm not sure what end-float is.. I don't notice any wheel-float (side to side) while the wheel is spinning. Feel free to inform me :)

@@user-nn4wj8gk9s I don't notice any movement.. The sprigs do allow for some movement and engagement of the ratchet (as far as I can tell).

why didn't you take the hub apart without taking the cassette off?

Because I'm an idot lol. I realized that I could do this without taking the cassette off later on.

I upgraded the ratchet from 24 tooth to 54 tooth 👍

I'm afraid of lubrication my dicut 240 36t ratchet hubs. Without any grease they are radicouls quiet. Shame to you dt swiss
