Review: Excellent lube and durability - Thousands of miles and 12 years on my original DT Swiss R1700 hub and this grease was still soft and the color was good.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it work for ratchet system on dT Swiss 350?**
A: I ordered the 36T kit: HWTXXX00NSK36S and two 6902 bearings. Received kit fairly quickly and replaced existing ratchet in about an hour. I did use the DT Swiss ratchet grease as suggested and Park Poly Lube for bearings after much research.  I did not encounter any problems and I did enjoy a summer of riding without any issues. I am very happy with the replacement. My only advice is take your time and don't force anything.

**Q: Is this the pink DT Special Grease?  I have also seen black versions.**
A: Yes, a fairly light pink grease

**Q: How often should you re-grease?**
A: It depends on the conditions.  If you ride in wet or muddy conditions you will need to clean and grease more often. Mountain bike more often than road or gravel.
