Product Information

Full details

The DT Swiss Ratchet Freehub Conversion Kit (SRAM XD) is an essential upgrade for cyclists looking to transition their existing DT Swiss Ratchet system wheels to an SRAM XD drivetrain. Designed for both 142x12mm and 148x12mm (BOOST) standards, this kit provides a seamless, high-durability solution featuring stainless steel bearings for smooth engagement; however, users must verify their hub uses the Ratchet system, as this component is strictly incompatible with 3-Pawl hub designs.

FAQs

Does this kit work with 3-Pawl hubs?

No, this kit is exclusively for DT Swiss Ratchet system hubs.

Are the end caps included?

Yes, the kit includes the necessary drive-side end cap for installation.

Can I use this on a non-boost hub?

Yes, it is compatible with both 142x12mm and 148x12mm (BOOST) spacing.

Do I need special tools to install this?

No, the design is tool-free; you can pull off the old body and push on the new one by hand.

Is this compatible with SRAM XDR cassettes?

Troubleshooting

Freehub body does not seat correctly

Ensure the star ratchets are correctly aligned within the hub shell and not displaced during the installation of the new body.

Increased resistance when freewheeling

Check that you have used the correct amount of DT Swiss special grease and ensure the end cap is fully seated.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable stainless steel bearing construction
  • Easy tool-free maintenance and installation
  • Wide compatibility with standard and BOOST spacing
  • Genuine DT Swiss high-quality replacement part

Cons

  • Not compatible with 3-Pawl hub systems
  • Requires specific DT Swiss Ratchet hub internals
  • Not intended for non-XD cassette standards

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, remove the existing end cap and freehub body by pulling firmly outward on the cassette/freehub assembly. Ensure the Ratchet system components (springs and star ratchets) are clean and properly greased with DT Swiss special grease before sliding the new XD freehub body into place. Snap the included drive-side end cap firmly until it seats correctly. Regularly inspect the internal ratchets for wear and re-lubricate every few months, depending on riding conditions and climate, to ensure long-term durability and silent operation.
