Title: D272 hub from CSC ? specifications, bearings, provider?
Post by: nabilou on April 15, 2025, 09:25:23 AM
is this hub reliable?
it is sold by csc with their ultra light v-shape wheelset?
do you know it? is it reliable? who is the provider? what are the beartings specifications? it pretty hard to find some information about the hub and it s not always a good signal. i only know there are 54T and it s better to go for 36.

i trust elitewheel but we have to pay 2 times for the edge : 1) waiting for 2 months 2)  expensive shipping cost (spain warehouse is empty)
so csc seems to be a good alternative in terms of price

and csc has an option for carbon spokes too

H-Works make quality HUBS
That’s a fairly generic HUB
Many carbon rim Manufacturers  use these for there wheel builds XM CarbonSpeed, Carbon Bike Kits and some larger brands are also using these.
 I am using these hubs on my DFS Carbon wheels as they accept carbon spokes.
I emailed H-Works direct and you can get these for $135usd a set.

Read the replies!!

They are H-Works HUBS rebranded as CSC and they make quality HUBS so that’s a yes!
They will only be reliable obviously as long as they are serviced and maintained regularly

Any Insights on their cheaper alternative, the CSCT31 hubs? If you choose these instead of the D272, wheels are approx. 100 USD cheaper, but also 250g heavier.
But for a cheap gravel wheelset, i wouldn't mind the extra weight...

I have the d272 ones on my Gravel bike, I feel like the rear hub/freewheel combo is a bit draggy, anyone experienced that?

I am thinking about buying their wheelset for light gravel 30 outer width, 40 height. Leightweight. Ratchet hub. Much cheaper than elitewheels; and the reviews seem very good!

They are using Yuan hubs

i confirm they're a bit dragghy.
The old version have threaded cap, the new cap non threaded cap.
Reducing the closing force help a little.

I install 60t ratchet and the dragging went worse (but louuuuuuuuder!!)

I've been running the 50mm (23mm ID) ones with the d272 hub and 54 teeth ratchets on my gravel bike for ~1800km.

At around a ~1000km mark, I heard a loud metallic bang from the rear hub when starting to peddal from a standstill - but since everything worked fine right after I didn't even bother to check...

Now at around a 1800km I finally took the hub apart to regrease and inspect - and there is clearly some damage on the ratchet wheels themselves. I contacted the CSC seller through aliexpress and they said they'd send me a new 36T ratchet for 10 euros. Only thing I'm worried about is the fact that the main damage seems to be on the side large cogs not the small ratchet teeth as one would expect, I don't see why the 36T wouldn't have the same problem in this sense - or maybe it depends on the QC and batch variation - as in some dutch forums (I'm not dutch but was lead there when i was doing research on the CSC wheels) they are reporting 5k+ kms with no issues.

To be fair to CSC, besides the ratchets everything else has been flawless - I've taken them down gnarly paths and bumps, and in terms of construction they have my full belief.

What's this based on? Seemingly it says its also a "4 pawls" freehub, not a ratchet type - and I can see other differences between my d272 and the pictured version

My CSCT31 hub have 4 pawls, it´s not rachet.

Also if you check de web probably find your rachet hub version.

Yeah sorry my mistake - you were talking about the CSC31 hub, because the topic was built on D272 hub, I assumed thats what you meant - my bad

Is the D272 free hub body DT Swiss compatible? Or which one would fit?

Post by: HarryFunmaker on February 04, 2026, 10:29:11 AM
I have the same question about the freehub body. What would be compatible with the D272 hub (SR261 from H Works)? I want to switch my current wheels over to Shimano HG. CSC sent me a link on AliExpress, but the item doesn't ship to my area.

Would this one from ZTTO fit?
