Anyone got experience with their D272 hub?
I have the D272 hub w 36t ratchets on the CSC wheelset I purchased early this year. See notes above. So far at 2500 road miles I am very pleased with the D272 hub. Its a DT350 clone - strait pull. Only 2 concerns I have had are 1. unbranded bearings - have had no premature wear so far. 2. The End Caps. The end caps require a 11mm allen wrench to remove them rather than just pulling them off like most others. I had some difficulty locating 2 11mm allen wrenches locally to get the job done. The end caps are single labrynth seal. Having a double labrynth like the DTS caps would better seal out water ingress.
I have not had any dirt or water ingress problems however.
Hub internals are still clean as day 1 so I have not experienced any rathet wear either. Hub noise is medium. (I prefer quiet freehubs) My other CSC wheels have Novatec hubs with pawl ratchets. I would put the D272 at at least equal in terms of quality. Extra credit for the ratchet design.
