"The money goes up, the weight goes down" yep, that's bike industry for you.

That 180s price is eyewatering even by bike industry standards. 350 all the way!

[russellturpin]

Okay. That was the most vague breakdown I’ve heard. What are the weight differences? What does the different ratchet sizes mean to me on tue trail…faster engagement, louder, smoothness, etc?? What is the approximate price differences?

[Bogdan_Ch]

came here for a technical difference. After wasting 4 minutes of my life, nothing changed.

i have dt swiss 240exp in my gravel and sounds great :)

[sorenmeyer]

Great Video! Quick to the point and very informative

[huwillysh]

240 SP is ~97g lighter per set than 350 SP and is double the price of 350 SP
180 SP is ~121g lighter per set than 350 SP and triple the price of 350 SP.

Why is it hard to recommend 240?

[timothygermann]

Worth noting that the 180s are only available in lower spoke count options (and only straight pull in front) so its only for lighter riders.. Also the 240 has more durable and lower friction bearings and bearing seals than the 350, its not just the weight. The 240 will roll smoother and do so for longer.

[GeraldGuevara]

Nice review. Basically pointing out 240 it's not really worth since the 350 is going to perform just as well, just not the tiny amount of weight savings, and if weight savings is priority I'm better off getting the 180 instead of spending the money for a 240.

[leechristopher]

How is the 180 compared to the Chris King R45D in term of performance and not in comparison on weight.

[graham]

Do they have the same bearings? I thought the 350 had chromium steel bearings & the 240 had stainless steel. Am I wrong?

[ianiscaratti]

Had 350 on my enduro hardtail and they lasted way longer than imagined. No need for more on my bike for sure.

[rmm]

Why not talk about the bearings?? 180 comes with ceramic bearings I believe and the rest don't.

Thank you very much for the beautiful and very informative information you have provided in countless videos. I watched a few and learnt a lot again. Thank you for that :)

I have a question and hope you can enlighten me.
Is it possible to convert a DT Swiss 350 hub 12x100mm to 15x100mm? I found a conversion kit, but I'm not sure if it works with every 350 hub.

[davidf]

Another point to build on here I think is the star ratchet system/engagement. A lot of riders for off-road/mtb gravitate towards the 54 tooth upgradge, but that may not be the smartest choice when it comes to durability and especially for loaded bikepacking applications. Can you elaborate on this point? Thanks, enjoying the knowledge shared. Too bad you're not also located in the US for wheel builds.

Whats the diference between 350 and 370? Tks

[zdravo]

Hello there and thank you for this very useful and informative video. I am thinking about 350 hub, currently I have Shimano M6000 and it is OK, but it’s bearings and as you know cup and cone and I would like to get a proper hub with proper bearings. So my question is, can I order 350 with classic QR axle?

[logicsetsyoufree]

Does the 240 make that cool sound just like the 180 when coasting??

[JBGreen-uxpm]

Do you have any concerns about the reduced bearing size in the 180 versus the 240? In an internet forum I read a post where the poster felt like the bearings were so small in the 180 that it might lead to durability issues. I take everything that I read online with a big grain of salt, but I did feel like that was an interesting thought regarding the 180. What are your thoughts on durability with the reduced bearing size in the 180?

'...much lighter...', '...there's a pretty signifcant weight jump...'; ah please, stop the cra...; we are talking about a 30 grams weight difference between a set of 240s and a set of 180s.
