This is where I'm at. Mine are off of my 2007 Sunday. I never had an issue but thought about trying the 36. Unfortunately, it cost as much as the 54, so why would they even make a 36 anymore?
54 is more likely to skip and needs servicing more frequently.
There are people who need more than 18 and people who are fine with it. It has nothing to do with ability, terrain, speed, tech, etc.
For 200+lb
Only 38, cause I'm heavy.
Less donuts and beer.
Just kill me now.
If it makes you feel any better I still run close to 30 psi and that's with tire inserts.
In what casing?
Boudin or wurst?
Re grease.
i use that shit on all my freehubs.
Anyone get a sinusoidal high/low pitch buzz sound with their dt hubs with pulled springs?
Larger teeth are stronger and less likely to slip once some dirt and water have made their way in. DT recommends more frequent servicing with the 54t. I think the 36 is quieter and less drag too but it's small enough difference I could be imagining it.
You can swap out the ring nut in the hub shell for a 350's? Then put a 350's freehub on it? Anything weird or are the hub shells, bearings, axle bits all the same dimensions?
I've heard that on many DT hubs with stock springs. Because the pitch change doesn't correlate to the rotation position of the freehub I have no idea what causes it.
Yup, you need a special tool to remove the 370 nut (it's a bitch to remove, required me taking it to the LBS and having three dudes yank on the wheel to break it loose). Install the star rachet nut and star rachet, then normal 350 freehub. Nothing weird, it's basically the same exact hub, just with a traditional pawl mechanism instead of the star rachet. I was looking for a cheap hub, this probably cost me a little bit less than a 350 with the 18t star rachet.
The guy she tells you not to worry about.
