Tech Tuesday: How & Why to Upgrade Your 3-Pawl DT Swiss Hub to a Star Ratchet
Went with the cheap Chineseium 60 tooth POE star ratchet upgrade from ali express for my 370 hub. Bought two kits as I was not sure how well they would hold up (keep one in my riding backpack in case of failure) figured it was worth the try. They were about 30$ each kit Cdn shipped. also picked up the ali express knock off dt tools to pull the pawl ring out and install the ratchet rings. Can't imagine buying all the oem dt parts, cost more than a damn hub!
Local guy selling a take off microspline ratchet driver for a 350 for cheap spurred the conversion. The cheap 60t knock off has held up to a full season of abuse and is still going strong. I do grease it every few months. Like it quieter that way.
Those rings are in there something fierce, I'm an auto mechanic by trade and damn near thought I was going to bust the rim or spokes twisting that thing to break loose in my bench vise. Not a fun job.

Rocky Mountain Introduces MX Mount for Altitude and Altitude Powerplay
I just wish Rocky had engineered the alloy frames to accept these modular shock mounts like the carbon frames.
