You will have to ride it through the surf now.What would happen if you used marine grease when greasing DT Ratchets (18t)?
I've used marine grease on other hubs. Being a thicker grease it can reduce the noise your ratchet makes. If this is important to you apply sparingly.What would happen if you used marine grease when greasing DT Ratchets (18t)?

Dunno, the ratchet rings need to separate to freewheel. Marine grease seems to be stickier than the DT 'Special Grease'. Could affect disengagement and engagement? 18T probably less sensitive than the higher engagement versions with smaller teeth.What would happen if you used marine grease when greasing DT Ratchets (18t)?
I'm guessing the thicker grease will create some extra spinning resistance translating to the real world result of me noticing sweet FA?Dunno, the ratchet rings need to separate to freewheel.

The rings ain't spinning when you are climbing, only when you are freewheeling ! I'm more thinking about proper engagement/disengagement of the ratchet teeth to avoid damage. The friction difference when rolling under freewheel will be immaterial.I'm guessing the thicker grease will create some extra spinning resistance translating to the real world result of me noticing sweet FA?
I don't do much climbing and when I do, I'm pretty terrible at it
Ahh yep, makes sense!The rings ain't spinning when you are climbing, only when you are freewheeling ! I'm more thinking about proper engagement/disengagement of the ratchet teeth to avoid damage. The friction difference when rolling under freewheel will be immaterial.
Lack of bob maybe?It's such a stupid question, but from a XC viewpoint, what makes a firmer damped fork more efficient?
That's about the only benefit I've read, and for the climbs I have and the way I climb them I've not noticed a difference.Lack of bob maybe?
