The reviewer analyzes Riot brand hubs that use a DT Swiss-style ratchet system, noting they are generic in design with standard bearing sizes and no special tools required for maintenance. He points out machining quality issues but acknowledges the hubs function adequately for their low price point.
AI Summary
Pros
- Uses standard size bearings
- No special tool required to dismantle
- Significantly cheaper than DT Swiss hubs (approximately 80 quid for both hubs vs. 269 for just a DT Swiss rear hub)
- Design is used by other brands like Ninevello
- Ratchet mechanism ramps and flats are acceptable quality
- Disc brake splines are well machined
- Freehub engagement flanks are well machined
Cons
- Spoke hole drillings have swarf (metal debris) not cleaned out
- Machining marks visible on hub flanges under magnification
- Toothed rings in ratchet mechanism appear rough and possibly not machined
- Freehub body shows runout measurements (0.03-0.05mm eccentricity)
- Overall machining quality appears rushed
- Seals are standard NBR type rather than premium materials like Viton
- Spoke angles on disc brake hubs are less optimal than rim brake hubs
Key Points
- Front hub uses 6902 bearings (15mm bore, 28mm OD)
- Rear hub uses 6902 and 6802 bearings
- Uses DT Swiss-style ratchet system with two identical serrated discs
- Four-bearing design: two in hub body, two in freehub
