Was this the 54T or 36T ratchet? I've heard of a lot of issues with the 54T. I have a 36T and it has been solid for close to 500 miles. I've cleaned and lined it a couple times, making sure to use a light lube sparingly.

I probably will replace it with a DT Swiss ratchet at some point though.

36T  They are ZTTO R2 and so far so good. I just wanted to check on it after a couple of rides.

Hello everyone, I want to share my experience of using the GOLDIX 240 EXP hub. As soon as I assembled the wheel, on the first ride the ratchet slipped under load, various lubricants didt help, and in the end, after 100 km the ratchet broke.

Thanks for the reminder!  I just cleaned out and lightly regreased the ratchets in my wifes new hub.  They only have 50 miles but she said that she thought she felt it slip once or twice, everything looked perfect.  I ordered a spare a genuine DT 24t ratchet set to keep on her bike to keep from being stranded.  It would be a shame for such a small and light spare part to not carry one.

I recently got the Elita carbon saddle for my road bike:
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832622302239.html


It's one of the few carbon saddles that come in a wide size. I got the 155 mm and it's much more comfortable than the narrower saddle it replaced. I weighed mine at 131 grams (125 claimed). I don't have many miles on it, but it seems to be pretty solid. (I'm about 95 kg with my gear.)


I bought 3 of these in 143mm to cover all my bikes after I bought my wife 2 of the Rock Bros 155mm saddles for my wifes bikes and they were so good.

If you have the chance to try a 155 Rock Bros from amazon, try it!  It is significantly better in every way!

I am now in the process of stripping one of my ali saddles and refoaming and recovering it to shape more like the Rock Bros
