    Rear wheel fell and cassette went off!

    So first of all F&$&*! I was putting the bike on the trainer and my wheel fell off on the cassette side and and these 3 parts went off.

    My questions is what’s the order? And what tools I’ll need to put it all back together?

    I saw 1 spring on the hub and another on the cassette and then these 2 things that thread perfectly but should they be together or should this spring be in between the 2 silver things?

    Also is very greasy, what kind of grease am I seeing here in case I need to replenish now that’s opened

      The cassette falling off could be normal, some brands like DT Swiss have removable hub, not great in your case as you couldn’t control if parts went missing.

      Edit : if it’s DT Swiss there should be an assembly manual online for your model

      No tools needed, just check dt diagrams how to place two springs

      It has to be spring ring ring spring

      Have to be easy job, if you did not lose anything

      Now you can service your hub since you’ve already had it apart once! Get some of that dtswiss grease and some degreaser spray to clean the old grease out. Clean without spraying directly on any bearings (I.e. degreaser on a microfiber rag for the freehub and cassette). The other parts can be submerged in degreaser and wiped.

      Apply new grease to all surfaces with a watercolor brush or something similar. You can add a little extra grease to quiet the hub for a while, although I’ve found over-greasing is possible with the 54t ratchets (can make the ratchet skip). FWIW it looks like you have 36t ratchets, which I’ve greased the heck out of with no problem.

      Happened to me once, the whole thing (ratchet freehub parts + cassette) fell on the floor. I was like ‘oh no’
