Product Information
Full details
The DT Swiss Front Wheel Conversion Kit is designed for cyclists and mechanics looking to adapt compatible DT Swiss 350 and 370 front hubs to the 12x100mm thru-axle standard. This kit provides a reliable, manufacturer-grade solution for wheel builds or bike upgrades, ensuring a secure fit and optimal performance. While it is a high-quality genuine part, it is essential to verify exact hub model compatibility via the official DT Swiss technical manual, as improper sizing can result in fitment failure.

FAQs
Does this kit include bearings?
No, this is an end-cap conversion kit only and does not include hub bearings.
Can I use these on non-DT Swiss hubs?
No, these parts are proprietary to DT Swiss hub designs and will not function with other hub manufacturers.
Do I need special tools for installation?
Generally, these can be pressed in by hand, but ensure they are seated squarely to avoid damage to the o-rings.
What if my hub is not listed in the manual?
If your hub model is not explicitly confirmed for this kit, do not force the installation as it may damage the bearings or the hub shell.
Should I apply grease during installation?
Yes, a thin layer of waterproof grease on the o-rings and internal contact surfaces is recommended for protection and longevity.
Troubleshooting
End cap does not seat fully into the hub.
Verify that you have removed the original dust seal if the new cap requires a different sealing interface.
Excessive play in the hub after installation.
Double-check that the end caps are the correct size for your specific 350 or 370 hub variant as per the DT Swiss technical documentation.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Genuine OEM manufacturer quality
- Restores hub functionality for modern thru-axle frames
- Simple, tool-free installation for most users
- Maintains standard DT Swiss weather sealing
Cons
- Specific to select 350 and 370 models only
- Requires careful manual verification for compatibility
- Does not include new hub bearings
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.
