So I took the time this morning to dismantle the freehub body & check inside. Based on this Giant Tutorial - http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j...8WD1WTQhvJL0CO - it seems like my SLR-1 (star ratchet) rear hub is ''the equivalent of a'' DT Swiss 240.

The internal is exactly the same, but there is no spring between the bearing and the ratchet close to the spokes. There is only one inside the freehub.





For you hub connoisseurs out here, is this normal? Shouldn't there be 2 springs inside? My bike rides exactly the same as before except for the freewheel sound that is quieter. If a spring was missing, I guess botch ratchets wouldn't engage under load, right?
