60T DT Swiss Star Ratchet UpGrade & Sound Comparison 36T, 54T, 60T | RobbArmstrong

I was laughing listening to you rumble through some drawers or something looking for that Dt Swiss grease. Lol I was like “ Robb has so much stuff lol”. I have the 54t in my pro 37s thanks to you and the recommendation. I love them bro!

54T is the sweet spot for sound. 60 starts to hum instead of ratchet. DT has a new DEG system that has up to 90T, but that's overkill for roadbikes in my opinion.

I truly believe that the 54t sounds better than the 60s

You should get rid of the wheel imbalance bro, that costing you at least 15 watts 🤣 I like the 54 sound better

I’ve put about 2k miles on my 60t, and it hasn’t skipped a beat. When I race though I use the 54t, even though no problems with the 60t and no noticeable wear.

36t sounds much better.. great comparison by the way

Hey buddy, always keep an eye on how are the internals doing, if for some reason you have engagement problems and the ratchet get stuck you can have serios head acke by breaking your rear transmission. I've seen this happening down here with these chines stuff, I have nothing against ali as I buy a lot from there, but understanding how the ratchet system works, I personally would not try something, lets call OEM ? but good look, result looks sweat !

Why you have Zeb and Bomber decals on your road bike LOL

DTswiss is so behind the times with mtbing it is ok with road. When I went from 36t to 54t I thought I was in heaven. Then I went to 72t Hunt and was whoa, then to 120t RaceFace. And think the minimum for technical climbing mtbing 72t is the minimum and 54t is barely adequate. I also got I9 with 692poe and feel that it is too much or nor really practical. I can't really tell the practical difference between the 120poe vs the 692poe, 3* vs. 0.52*, ironically I also have a Onyx instant engagement and those feel the best and something about them, maybe the soft point of engagement but they feel fantastic...the best engagement and feel hub by far.

did you uses the red spacer in the end? on the chinese gold ratchet

How is the 60T and 54T holding up? I have the same Bontrager Pro 51 wheels and I’m looking to upgrade.

Thanks , but I'll stick to original D T SWISS products

Great video, I myself was thinking about getting the ALiExpress version for 54t or 60t. Let me know what the durability and reliability is like with the 60t.

Is this compatible with DT swiss 370 hub?thank you

on youre behalve am gone try a ordered all the parts to throw it into my newly got 370 ratchet ln and we see ill comeback for an update

How is the 60t holding up so far?

Maybe because I’m just listening to it on my phone but I like the sound of the RSL better. The 51 sound too high-pitched almost like a whining screeching sound. The RSL sound solid, a little deeper manly sound.

i like 54t more

The 60T just sounds too much lmao. 54t sounds just right.

How did you use the red spacer???
