DT bought their star ratchet from Hugi, and immediately improved it by using a two spring system. Those were super reliable. Later, they went back to the Hugi design, and have had some problems with the floating ratchet hanging up, causing freewheel only. They said they solved that problem with a recall.

In my shop experience, Chris King's ratchet system works well, but the hubs often need bearing adjustment. None of us saw the value over DT or even White Industries and didn't recommend them when asked.

I have some old Shimano 105 hub wheels from the 9 speed era. They are well finished, slim looking and super quiet.
