Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up this wheel, ensure you are using high-quality tubeless rim tape and a compatible tubeless valve stem. Because of the zero-bead hook design, the wheel is optimized for tubeless tires to maximize retention during hard impacts. Maintenance is straightforward; the DT Swiss 350 hub architecture is modular and requires basic tools for service. To ensure the longevity of your investment, it is critical to register the wheel within 90 days of purchase to activate the lifetime warranty. Periodic inspection of spoke tension is recommended after the initial 'break-in' period of the first 50 miles of trail riding. Regularly clean the rim surface to check for deep gouges or dents, and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may compromise the rim's finish.
