This should work for the DT Swiss 370 hub, according to someone. This is not accurate. In the 370 hub, there are 3 pawls. It needs to be converted to an electric ratchet system first, and then this upgrade kit can be utilized
DT Swiss hubs will work with ANY wheel as long as it has the proper wheel. It's the hub, not the wheel, that needs to be DT Swiss. On an e13 wheel with a DT Swiss 350 hub I have this installed.
A 20g tub of grease and two 36T star ratchets, two springs, and two 36T star ratchets
Towards the end of pedalling, I find that the difference provides just enough engagement to make your bike feel more engaging. The change was just a slight one from 36t to 54t, but it was a good one in my opinion

Previously I owned a 36T and liked it, but it was starting to look By reducing the pedalling deadzone to 6 degrees, the 54T facilitates pedaling. Standing still, it's barely noticeable when compared to the 10 degrees. It is when you ride slowly and rachet frequently that you notice the difference. The small flares of torque that come from quick leg kicks are what define My daily life has been improved by this subtle yet expensive upgrade.
To open the cap, I intentionally pushed it against the inside of the cap rather than through the hole (you may have to tap the cap It was easy to take the freehub off and on (be careful that the ratchets and springs are loose at this point) and it was just a matter of putting it back together with My engagement angle decreased by a significant amount, and I'm pleased with the result. Even the sound of the word is slightly different from the original The sound is similar to that of a King or Industry Nine (think King or Industry Nine), but still not as loud as those hubs. Some people extend the springs to make the sound louder, but I'm more concerned with the performance and reliability. There was only one issue with the book (and that's why I gave it a 4 instead of a 5). They seem so expensive, but why is that the case? The cards must cost less than $10 to make (and I would be surprised if it was more than that). We all need to make money, so I think selling them for $50 might be a good idea. How can almost $100 be possible? This item is usually needed by someone who has already purchased a newer DT Swiss Hub, which is not cheap. Wouldn't it make more sense to include them in the stock hubs or make them an inexpensive extra item to purchase My hobby is pretty expensive, but I can't say no to bike parts, and I have a thing for them. For months before committing to the purchase, I mulled it over in my head. It would be better if they lowered the price so that they would sell more and have happier customers.
I tried to cut corners by purchasing a Chinese version. The move was a bad one. The 54 tooth set up was worth it to me, so I decided to just spend the money. Installing the gear was simple, and the quality of the gear was exactly as expected when you pay for such small metal pieces. It is impossible for me to complain about how they do their job. found the purchase to be very satisfactory because it does exactly what it states and fits just fine. Should there be any issue, I have a right to directly contact the company (DT Swiss or the retailer).
A DT Swiss 350 hub was upgraded to the 36T ratchet from the 18T standard. Grease provided in the kit makes installation easy, and it takes less than 10 minutes. Take care not to put too much grease on! If you're riding technical terrain like in southern Utah, you'll find the 10 degree engagement hugely helpful when ratcheting pedals to get the rocks out of the way. This ratchet should be standard, as replacing it with the 36T will save you money.
It immediately improves the engagement between the hub and the crank arm and mitigates a lot of the looseness that normally occurs in stock hubs/ cranks. If you are moving up from 36T or less, it will be much more complicated. I feel like the drive is ten times more powerful than before. I was able to install this bike in no time with basic MTB mechanical skills - it wasn't difficult at all. Time is 10-minutes. It's a bit disconcerting, though I think you will sound like you are being chased by a swarm of angry bees!.
When I noticed some wear on the aluminum body of the freewheel hub, I decided to upgrade my DT240s freewheel. A steel hub was substituted for the aluminum Yes, it is heavier, but at least it will last a long time. In order to upgrade the ratchet to a more toothed one, I installed a new one with a larger bit. In the end, DT Swiss original grease was perfect to help complete the task in a good professional manner.
The upgrade process is simple. After an unlaid rim broke, I had to repair a DT hub. My computer needed an upgrade so I decided to do so. A quicker engagement will prevent you from getting stuck a fraction of a second after you have turned a corner or overcome an For those of you who have already invested thousands of dollars into a race bike to gain an edge, this is an essential We give you DT grease for the rest of your life.
Great performance and gains with it installed, but for the amount it costs it is hard to take. There is just so much overperformance with these gears and if you already have the 36 tooth set then don't bother as its not worth the upgrade but if you are only going to be using the 18 tooth set then it is certainly worth A performance upgrade can be accomplished in less than 10 minutes, and it takes you just minutes to complete.
