Hi, I've similar noise problems on my SPD hubs, both on my and my wife's bike. But for me it wasn't the bearings so far. Ofc, I check all bearings doing the hub service too. My theory is different: We climb and decent a lot, after 10.000m the creaking always starts. Then I open the hub, do the cleaning like you and then its silence again. I think that especially while hard descending & braking a lot of torque is build up hub internally. Sometimes the creaking simply is removed doing another climb / applying counter torque. Latest by opening the hub, all the strain is released. And silent again (for some time) As always, very nice service video! Love to have another geek out there like me ❤😊

if you are so concerned, steel springs from radial shaft seals (like ones in MTB forks) will be a great alternative. However the mechanism you described is imposible: once the pawl engage, the rubber ring does nothing. So you have to freewheel a bit first and then only start pedaling again to notice the freehub is no longer catching, there is no loss of power, there is a loss of posibility to resume it - much softer type of a hit than when you snap the chain, tubeless de-seats or a crank debonds. Also not redundand critical elements!

I certainly like those new bearing pullers that come with some bearing presses nowadays so you don't need those scary punches. Though my Enduro Bearings version certainly scared the hell out of me when it pulled the bearing out sideways, and actually caused the races to snap in half! Also, expensive caeramig bearing manufacurer Kogel bearings at some point claimed that you're very likely to damage the seals when servicing cartridge bearings and suggested getting a set of new seals from the manufacturer if you wanted to try servicing them.

I am a bit surprised that there are only 2 pawls and there is no sleeve between the bearings of the rotor! I have a rear hub from Bitex and there is a sleeve in the rotor to preload the bearings. When I want to change the main bearings, I have to press the inner main bearing first in, put the axle in and then press the outer main bearing in. Getting the main bearings out is easy by simply tapping the axle out with a hammer :) The axle is holding the main bearings and preventing any movement sideways. Eventually there is the need to put some shims on the axle to Compensate for tolerances and preload the bearings. They are 2x6803(rotor) and 1x6903,1x6802(main axle). I saw, your hub has some kind of micro adjuster I replaced the smaller main bearing 6802 with a ceramic-hybrid abec5, which runs silky smooth and will hopefully last longer despite the smaller size😀

Another great production vid as per usual! Love your work. But damn those hubs (especially for the $, almost double $ vs. DT 240 EXP) are a walking (spinning?) compromise for such little weight savings (a DT 240 is 191grams vs. an Extralite CyberRear in 142x12 at 145g = 46grams saved to compromise in one of the worst locations (rear hub), where as going super light in the front is no issues (just a shell). 1) Cartridge bearing hub but still need to preload it like a cup and cone hub 2) Hub engagement relies on a suddenly perishable o-ring? Obviously been tested but the extra security of a metal spring for another 3-4 grams in a hard sprint is well worth it 3) 2 pawls with a limit of 1:1 ratios? I feel like this hub chasing weight with pawls is similar to pawled hubs chasing super high POE (E.g. I9 Hydra which causes imbalanced load and snapped axles if not cleaned super regularly) - both designs fly too close to the sun with regards to tolerances and/or durability.

45g off a 191g hub is HUUUGE! 😁 But obviously you don't pick an Extralite hub if durability is you end all and be all :) For whatever it's worth, it's my favorite hub of all I have tried. Very quiet, minimal freehub drag and unbeatable weight. Definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone not interested in bike maintenance though
@feedbackzaloop

There should be a super thin spacer underneath the freehub, between worn bearings - that's what must have killed them, they were sort of rubbing agains each other and also not having proper preload. This will damage those precious NTNs too! Although the damage might take longer to show up

A better option is to put a light threadlocker on the inside of the cap or in the axle itself. Tightening the thru-axle sometimes also twists the cap thus increasing the preload on the bearings and causing them to wear prematurely.

DTs were known for bad radial tolerances for some time too, they seem to have sorted it out couple of years ago though. Also personally hate how they use O-pattern arrangement with one semi-fixed and one quasi-floating bearings. When the textbook is X with both semi-fixed. The problem with this particular hub - axial tolerance stack up: as hub body is pressed from one side and the freehub from another, nothing takes up the slack in the bearings and prevents the damaged ones from rubbing full face against full face. Meaning, it's just a missing washer.
