Good quality hubs like the DT Swiss 240s are expensive! A good quality hub will last a long time though and can outlive many pairs of rims due to crashes etc…case in point is this pair of hubs which are being rebuilt onto their second set of rims.  The old rims were DT Swiss 4.2d’s which were getting a bit old in the tooth, plus Brett wanted to loose some weight off the wheels to keep up with Josh.

The solution?  Rebuild the 240s hubs with Stan’s ZTR 355 rims and a light combination of DT Swiss Revolution and Competition spokes.

While I had the hubs I cleaned the drive mechanism and regreased it with some ridiculously expensive DT Swiss high-pressure grease which will keep the ratchet rings in great shape for years to come.
