DT 240EXP hub clones Goldix, Venfort
TidyDinosaur:
I took apart my R180 hub yesterday after about 130km of which 85 in very bad weather and mud. Everything looks OK. The tips of the ratchets look a little bit worn, but since they are razor sharp this might be normal.
I packed the ratchet with grease, assembled everything and... the ratchet would no longer engage... I took it apart again, added some oil to the grease and that solved the problem.
The ratchet is now A LOT more quiet.
Edit: after 1 ride it is LOUD again...
nicklej:
I've now done 400 miles in just under 3 weeks on these. Lots of rain and dirt fromcommuting and riding on the south downs, hubs still loud as hell but no slippage. I guess i'll open them up over christmas when they get to about 1000 miles or sooner if i get any issues. So far, happy :)

My Goldix 240 SL 60t is skipping bad under load. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804895514428.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.59.65081802Fw79NU&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa
I tried purchasing a dt swiss 54t exp upgrade but it is incompatible with the hub. The threaded portion is way larger on the Goldix hub. Anyone have success with trying something different?
TidyDinosaur:
Did you try cleaning the ratchet and using thinner grease/oil?

Can't you purchase some ratchets from Goldix store with lower number of teeth?
At least they sell them separately

At least going down in teeth number gives more robustness against slipping.
