How Things Work: Freehub Body
Carbon_Dude:
Some good info on freehub bodies. You can see why I think DT Swiss makes a good design, especially for the money. However, if money was not an issue, Chris King hubs are truly amazing and I can see why they are so expensive.

Nice information! Thanks
carbonazza:
Very good article. Thanks!
By the way, do you know why my DT Swiss rear hub lost its total silence?
Is it just grease? Do you put it often?

I would assume it just needs to be re-greased or have the correct grease. DT Swiss makes special star ratchet grease that is a particular viscosity which gives the star ratchet just the right amount of sound. Once I used Park Tools grease and the hub got very quiet. If the freehub is very noisy I would assume that it's just dry and needs lubricant.
