If i'm not mistaken then GOLDIX is their OEM so the quality should be the same.

Little update on my R240SL hubs. I have ridden them 750km now, and discovered there was play in the rear wheel. Opened up the hub and discovered the NDS bearing was already rusty. Looks like these hubs have bad waterproofing (or bad factory bearings). Replaced the bearing, put in a lot of waterproof grease, so I hope this will last a little longer

sounds like a classic chinese hub experience

Replacement with good bearings should solve the issues .

I bought another hub and was specifically looking for the star ratchet style and not EXP. This way I could swap the cassette + freehub between my wheels and can save on expensive cassettes. However, I realized there are two types of star ratchet freehubs. There is the DT Swiss LN version and the regular version. The LN version is flat on the side that faces the hub when slid in while the regular freehub has couple steps. They are not compatible. So if this also matters to you, definitely look at the photos of the freehub before buying. Specifically the Venfort hub with a step on the outside of the rear hub uses the LN freehub

Anyone know what drivers are compatible with Yuan An road disc ratchet hubs? I'm specifically looking for a XDR driver for these hubs.

Thanks! Any idea if DT Swiss XDR drivers are compatible as well? Reading through the thread it sounds like yes, but just want to make sure.

Check seal location on current freehub, on my Venfort hubs the LN freehub is compatible, not EXP.

Can anybody confirm the standard DT ratchet (OEM parts) fit in the Goldix 370?
It seems that the Goldix 370 used a conical shape ratchet, different from "flat style" DTSwiss ratchet

check this video


I have a very reliable OEM DTSwiss 54t ratchet (full ring, not lighweight version) I want to try to use in the GoldixM370

Hi,

can somebody help me finding better hub out of Goldix R240 SL and the one in this wheel (seems to be H-Works SR330):

I wanna buy that wheels and am considering switch to R240 SL which is lighter - but is it same durable???

Finally took out my Kocevlo rear hub-equipped gravel bike out for a quick dirt ride and *surprise* the engagement spring sticks as mentioned in several posts above.
I would describe the failure mode as "hit bumps while coasting, clutch will not engage initially when starting to pedal" it unbinds itself and engages after a couple of rotations.
Otherwise the hub built up nice, etc. I think it's the same thing as the Goldix R350 model w/24 J-spoke holes.

so the ratchet slips and do not engage immediately?
It may be used wrong grease?
I usually use grease in the splines but PFTE oil in the ratchet teeth

My experience with D272 hub is fantastic but I really took care about my ratchet babies!
