Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Quieting the VERY loud H-Works freehub?
« on: August 17, 2026, 01:42:36 PM »
I've got a pair of Nextie carbon spoke wheels built with Rollingstar III 20 hole hubs that I think are H-Works hubs. The 45t ratchet is VERY loud. I've tried applying DT special grease which quiets the noise a little for a short while.  The ratchets themselves are hollow. Are DT ratchets compatible?  I'm thinking of trying a set of lower tooth count solid ratchets to see if they make less noise.

Anyone using these Bjorn copies from Ryet? I like more narrow saddle this is 140mm but it gets narrow quite quickly maybe it could work. It also has very long rails so you can move it more forward.
How is the softness on Ryet saddles 3d print vs foam? I prefer to have some padding.

I've been riding that Ryet 3D printed saddle on my road bike.  I like the more flat across profile. It seems nicely built with full carbon shell and one piece looped rail. The shell makes it a firm feeling saddle when hitting bumps (compared to an SLR superflow boost with carbon/nylon shell which flexed more but was uncomfortable to me otherwise). The Ryet 3D cushion is more firm than foam of SLR but I find the Ryet saddle comfortable.  I haven't tried the Ryet foam version.
