Component Deals & Selection / Re: Goldix M160SL hubs
« on: December 25, 2024, 05:38:40 AM »
I have these on some wheels but chanegd the ratched system. I never tried the 72T version because i didn't read much good about that from a longevity perspective. I ride all year in the UK and have done about 2000 miles on my wheels since October. They are really loud, i am using 36T ratchet and I checked the ratchet recently and all looked good. Just gave it all a good clean and put back together.

The HG freehub i have is like cheese. It didn't take long before the sprockets had worn badly into the splines because the splines have much less material on them. I bought a replacement but yet to fit it, shifting is still okay and overall been super happy with the hubs. Bearings still smooth and nothing corroded inside.

Perhaps not a great insight to this specific version of the product but overall super happy with the goldix hubs and have two light XC wheelsets with them.

Thanks for the insight. I want to do a similar modification to my new M160SL hubs.

I have found what looks like the correct ratchet tool, ratchet ring for main body and 36t ratchet

Ring removal tool+ring for main hub body

Are these the right parts? Did you do any special modifications to make it work? Aluminium or steel ratchet ring? Any weight saving or increase due to the change?

Thanks
