by the way, the seller blocked me and I get no information on my hub. Aliexpress is not providing any help, they just say: contact the seller. But the seller is not responding. I have a one year warranty, but the warranty from aliexpress is practically pointless.

I assume with everything I buy on Aliexpress that there is NO warranty when I buy...

Not my experience. For more expensive items, I generally buy from the official shop, and each time I got problems that were clearly a product flaw, I contacted the seller and either got a replacement or a part to repair.

Yeah, I'm not saying there is no warranty, but I just don't count on it...

It is my experience as well, with some sellers. Some other ones are a bit worst: CSC, in this case, and Seraph-TanTan.

update: after 5-6 mail to the aliexpress customer care, the seller unblocked me on the aliexpress chat. Let's see if I will finally get to know the specs of the rear hub

So I just bought a new set of CSC wheels - Disc, 45mm / 28mm wide with their OEM DT Like hub. The wheels came dead true and evenly tensioned. I took the hub apart and it was well greased. Shipping was 3 weeks to Chicago. 
This would be my fourth experience with CSC over the last 5 years.  I have had a very good experience with them so far. I'm sad to see you have had issues.    I do agree there is little technical support from them But, I have not needed any.

My riding buddy has had his 50mm CSC Disc wheelset w/ novatec hubs for 3 years (8k miles a year on mixed, flat terrain -160lb rider) and his wheels have needed zero maintenance. I serviced them once a year for him and the original bearings are still in good shape and the wheels have needed zero truing. There is a little cassette bite on the freehub but that is really a novatec issue and not a CSC thing.
I rode a borrowed pair a few years back and my brother has a 2 yr old set as well with the same result.

Just my honest feedback and experience. Hope that helps anyone out there giving them a look. I'm interested to see how the OEM hub performs long term.  Initial look appears to be good quality. I am prepared for the bearings to be rather short lived  (they are un branded black seal non contact bearings - smooth out of the box) but I can replace them easily if they get gritty. 

Quick update on my Carbon Speed Cycle Disc wheels bought in Feb 24'. It's now August 24' and I've put 1500 miles on them mostly over summer conditions.  The wheels have been flawless. No problems. Spokes are still evenly tensioned and no spoke breakage.  The wheels are fast and good quality. Hub bearings still like new.

Bro you have 3 posts and all 3 all about how good CSC are. c'mon that's not trusty.

Mr Kubackje:  Got it. So I am not a trustworthy member here because I actually took the time to come back and provide a long term update with my personal experience. Sorry for trying to give something back to the community rather than just consuming and trolling other members.  I have gotten value from the reviews of oither members here - was trying to pay something foreword to the next guy.

Edited/deleted some posts.

im riding CSC wheels for around 500kms already... no issues yet until now... 

Anyone got experience with their D272 hub?

Anyone got experience with their D272 hub?

I have the D272 hub w 36t ratchets on the CSC wheelset I purchased early this year.  See notes above.  So far at 2500 road miles I am very pleased with the D272 hub.  Its a DT350 clone - strait pull. Only 2 concerns I have had are 1. unbranded bearings - have had no premature wear so far. 2. The End Caps.  The end caps require a 11mm allen wrench to remove them rather than just pulling them off like most others. I had some difficulty locating 2 11mm allen wrenches locally to get the job done. The end caps are single labrynth seal. Having a double labrynth like the DTS caps would better seal out water ingress. 
I have not had any dirt or water ingress problems however. 
Hub internals are still clean as day 1 so I have not experienced any rathet wear either.  Hub noise is medium. (I prefer quiet freehubs) My other CSC wheels have Novatec hubs with pawl ratchets.  I would put the D272 at at least equal in terms of quality. Extra credit for the ratchet design.
