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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The OG *by A***R on January 1, 2026* Really good stuff small bit you don't want to over do it.
