DT 240EXP hub clones Goldix, Venfort

Hello,

Could you tell me what model is this hub?

What wheels did you buy?

What wheels did you buy?

I bought this wheelset:

With D325 hubs. They are CSC Wheelset.

How are wheels and hubs?

I have recently build a wheelset with the Goldix R240SL hubs. 

Did my first ride yesterday and all is well. They are very loud as expected. I would like them to be more silent.

Total weight of the wheels is 1380gr

Specs:

Aliexpress 54x31mm rims (470gr each)
Alpina Hyperlite Aero spokes
Goldix R240Sl hubs (255gr)

I'm looking at new sets of MTB BOOST hubs in centerlock version from Goldix.
No seller has been able to reliably explain to me the difference between their hub models 160 / 180 / 240 / 310. Can anyone advise here? I don't really care about weight, they're all very light anyways. I care about reliablity & stiffness & durability.

For the past year I've been running the Goldix M310 and except stripping the ratchet once, everything has been working out fine. I think the ratchet has stripped due to too much lube being in the system from factory.

Thanks guys!

I have the same hub. Does your freewheel make a bit "pulsating" ratchet noise? Mine does and it's annoying as it's not continuous but cycles between louder and quieter sound. Otherwise I'm happy and wish they were louder.

Yeah, it does pulsate a little bit.

Does anyone know if a 36T rachet "Kocevlo Road disc hub" dt swiss knockoff has a model # or is the same as some other goldix/fovno hub? I need to find some replacement end caps for them.
Thank you!

I have now done a little over 1000km on my MTB with the R180 hub and on my last ride a few days ago the ratchet (52T) stopped engaging... After a couple of minutes and pedalling backwards, it worked again and kept working for the remainder of the ride.
I took it apart when I got home and the grease looked kind of dirty, but nothing really bad. The teeth of the ratchet mechanism are damaged but after cleaning and re-greasing it seems to engage OK. I still have to try it on the road though.
I believe the damage will not really affect the working, but I will keep an eye out for further problems and I have another ratchet on hand to replace if needed.

Bit late reply but its exactly the same as the goldix R350 as they are the OEM for it if i'm not mistaken. The end caps from here should work, I-converter and J-converter from the listing.

Wonder if someone can give me a sanity check on some spoke lengths.
Looking at the Goldix sl180:

Measurements in screenshot.
Wheel ERD is 592 with 2.8mm offset:

2 Cross Lacing.
Spoke Lengths offered by seller is 192 and 194.

Does this look correct? Could I get away with 194 on the read right side? Technically 2.3mm to long according to the calc.

You could Double check with the dt Swiss calculator to be sure.
Do not go 2,5mm longer. That is too long and you will not be able to tension the spokes

Got pretty much the same with the inputted values. Not sure on the spoke offset on the hub, this is with 0 values.
Think this should get me pretty close.
Probably go with 1/2 at 294 and 1/2 at 292.

I might be wrong, but isn't the spoke offset fairly big on those hubs? So you should input those because it will have a big impact on the spoke length...

[impmonkey]

Is that these numbers?
