I have two sets of BTLOS wheels with Bitex hubs. Both have a very occasional clunk from the freehub. Brandon at BikeHubStore (awesome resource!) said that is a known issue with those hubs (they're the current disc hub that BTLOS carries) and he sent me replacement pawl springs. I did the replacements, and also cleaned out the original heavier grease and re-lubed with some synthetic oil (I think Old P suggested this). The clunk is less frequent but is not gone altogether.

I realize that the Bitex hubs are lighter than the DT 350s but I wish I'd chosen them instead. I have three other wheelsets with DT hubs (oddly, 180, 240, and 350) and they are flawless.
