Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the conversion kit, first remove the existing end caps from the front hub. If the hub features a dust seal, you may need to carefully remove it using a thin, non-marring tool. Press the new 12x100mm end caps into place until you feel a firm seat against the hub shell.
Compatibility Note: Always check the DT Swiss technical manual. Not all 350 or 370 hubs share the same internal architecture; attempting to install these on an incompatible hub can cause bearing preload issues.
Care: Clean the mating surfaces of the hub shell before installing the new caps. A light application of high-quality waterproof bike grease on the end cap o-rings is recommended to ensure smooth installation and superior water resistance.
