My DT Swiss 240S hub (current gen) turned itself into a bi-directional freewheel yesterday.
Current gen meaning the "240" (they dropped the "S") with the new ratchet design? If so this is a recurring issue with certain batches, DT are taking wheels back no-questions-asked for a retrofit:

A lot of people are seeing this issue:

Pulled the cassette out to find that the toothed ratchet had stuck inside the microspline body, freed that and put the cassette back on and carried on with the ride, interesting failure though.
The grease in there is silver- anyone know if the special red grease that DT Swiss gives you goes silver from tiny particles wearing, or has the bike shop put the wrong stuff in?
