Extended Product Information

FAQs

Will this work with my DT Swiss Ratchet System hub?

No, this freehub is specifically designed for 3-Pawl systems and is not interchangeable with Ratchet System hubs.

Do I need special tools to install this?

No, this product features a tool-free design for easy removal and installation.

Can I use this on a 142mm thru-axle frame?

No, this specific kit includes the end cap for 135mm QR spacing. A different end cap would be required for thru-axle compatibility.

Is this compatible with 11-speed and 12-speed Sram XD cassettes?

Yes, this freehub body is compatible with all Sram XD cassettes.

What maintenance should I perform on the freehub?

Clean and re-grease the pawls and ratchet ring with DT Swiss recommended grease periodically to ensure smooth engagement.

Troubleshooting

Freehub body does not sit flush against the hub shell

Ensure the pawls are fully compressed during installation and that the end cap is seated correctly.

Excessive drag when pedaling

Check for excessive or overly viscous grease on the pawls and verify the end cap is not overtightened against the hub bearing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simple, tool-free installation and removal
  • Genuine OEM part ensures perfect mechanical compatibility
  • Allows conversion to modern wide-range Sram XD cassettes
  • Includes required drive-side end cap for 135mm QR spacing

Cons

  • Not compatible with DT Swiss Ratchet System hubs
  • Limited to 135mm QR spacing; requires different parts for thru-axle conversions
  • Requires existing 3-Pawl internal hub architecture

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward due to the tool-free design. To install, simply pull the old drive-side end cap and freehub body off the axle. Ensure the three pawls and springs are clean and lightly lubricated with appropriate freehub grease before sliding the new unit onto the axle until it clicks into place. This part is strictly compatible with DT Swiss 3-Pawl systems (180, 240, 350). Periodically inspect the pawls and teeth for debris, and clean and re-grease every few months or after riding in wet conditions to maintain smooth engagement.
