DT Swiss 54T star ratchet upgrade

Great customer service! I received my 54T star ratchet upgrade very quickly, unfortunately I received the EXP version by mistake, however the customer service staff immediately caught the error and expedited me the non-EXP version and I received it within 2 days. Very happy with the staff at WheelBuilder. The star ratchet upgrade was easy to install as long as you have the correct tools and it is a niticeable difference from the 18T star ratchet in my DT Swiss 370 hub. I would highly recommend this upgrade!
