DT special red grease (Molykote TP 42) for servicing all DT Swiss ratchet systemsSpecially formuated in Switzerland to adhere to the ratchet teeth without clogging them, DT Swiss strongly recommend that only this grease is used on their ratchet systemsPlease note that only a very small amount is needed per service, even a small 20 gram pot should last a long timeOnly for use on the ratchets themselves, for pawl hubs and all other servicing tasks, DT suggest their universal all purpose grease (HBDT841)

Review: does the job - Expensive but does the job well. I recently service my DT swiss hub and when reassembling the freewheel I used the HGG1 grease on the ratchet. This resulting in the freewheel being a bit stiff so I dismantled again and greased the ratchet with this which resulted in much better function.

## 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.
