Anyone got one of the above they could lend me so that I can change the hub bearings?

I have one ordered but won't arrive for a while and wheels are in pretty bad shape.

Do you have the necessary tools to replace the bearings on DT swiss 240s Star Ratchet hubs?
I rode the London 100 at the weekend and my wheels sound like coat hangers.

my bike, with 240 hubs, has been making weird noises and I have been wondering if it was the hubs as I have checked everythng else. is the noise like very brittle pencils clattering together? I can't explain the noise much better than that, it is sort of a hollow clicking. Please help! And broken, I hope you are not offended by what I said about thomson stems, let me know a price if I haven't put you off.

Not offended in the slightest. I just got sidetracked. I also don't want too much money for it.

Regarding hubs. It could be the freehub needs grease, your bearings are shot Or it could be non hub related. . Hard to tell until its in the stand

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
