Re: DT 240EXP hub clones Goldix, Venfort Really appreciate all the info here. Decided to build a new wheelset and since the goldix 370 have been going quite well for me in all weather commuting, I decided to try another chinese hub. I came across a space grey venfort hub on discount for $65 (!) and matches everything I was looking for (light, older dual 36t ratchet system, road spacing) so I ordered those.

Just got them and they seem quite nice and feels solid. Bearings look good and there is some grease on them too. There are some nicks on the hub bodies and the finish is not that durable. Easy to scratch with some metal calipers. But at $65, I'll give that pass.

One hesitation I had was that there were no drawings/dimension on the hubs to calculate spoke length. I heard other people had success messaging the seller so I did that. It didn't give confidence when they asked for rim depth and not rim ERD. Even providing ERD, they wanted depth. I ended up measuring the hubs myself which was kind of hard as they were straight pull and using the dt swiss spoke calculator. Surprisingly, the spoke lengths were within ~1mm of the length the seller gave so either we are both right or both wrong :)

Currently waiting on the rims (WG44) and spokes/nipples (pillar 1420, sapim double square) to come in. Will update when I get things built!
