Hi,
Does anyone know if the new EXP ratchet is compatible with old 240s hubs ? Can I upgrade 240s with EXP ratchet ? Thanks.

No you can not.

Plus the old 240s style ratchets work better.

No, totally different and IMO EXP is a major downgrade vs. the old system!

Thank you guys. I thought that it would be a no go. Just wanted to be 100% sure.
In fact, I have ZTTO M1 hubs (DT240 knock offs). And I have a problem with ratchet springs grinding into the short axle. The EXP system would solve this as it have only one spring and it is not conical.
I will try to buy original DT ratchet with new springs, maybe it will solve the problem.

The real dt ratchets don't have problems in the real dt hubs (240s).

Exp has a problem that DT is working out.
