Troubleshooting

Wheel making clicking or popping noises

This is often normal for the ratchet system. If excessive, check if the freehub body and ratchet rings are clean and properly lubricated. Refer to DT Swiss service guides for detailed instructions.

Tubeless tire not sealing or losing air

Ensure the rim tape is correctly installed and sealed. Use sufficient sealant and rotate the wheel to distribute it. Check the valve core for tightness and ensure the tire bead is fully seated on the rim.

Wheel feels loose or wobbly

Check the thru-axle or quick-release skewer for proper tightness. If the issue persists, the wheel may need truing or spoke tension adjustment by a qualified mechanic.

Difficulty installing tire

Ensure you are using the correct tire size for the rim width. For tight fits, use tire levers carefully to avoid damaging the rim or tire bead. Tubeless tires can sometimes be stiffer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional versatility for road, gravel, and bikepacking.
  • Reliable and robust DT Swiss hub technology.
  • Excellent tire compatibility due to 24mm internal width.
  • Durable construction with hand-built quality in Europe.
  • Tubeless-ready for improved ride quality and puncture resistance.

Cons

  • Out-of-the-box axle standards may require adapters for some setups.
  • While reliable, the 36-tooth ratchet might offer slightly less immediate engagement than higher-tooth count options.
  • Alloy construction means they will be heavier than comparable carbon wheelsets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These wheels come pre-taped with tubeless rim tape and include tubeless valves, ready for a tubeless setup. If using standard clincher tires, ensure the tire bead seats correctly within the rim channel.

Compatibility:

  • Axles: The front wheel is configured for a 12 x 100 mm thru-axle, and the rear wheel for a 12 x 142 mm thru-axle. Adapters for other common thru-axle standards (e.g., 15x100mm front, 12x135mm rear) are available separately.
  • Brakes: Designed for disc brake systems.
  • Freehub Body: Available in SRAM XDR or Shimano HG Road configurations. Please ensure you select the correct freehub body for your drivetrain.
  • Tire Clearance: Compatible with tubeless and standard clincher tires, suitable for widths ranging from road slicks up to approximately 47c gravel tires.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Regularly clean the rims, hubs, and spokes with mild soap and water. Avoid high-pressure washers, especially around the hub bearings.
  • Hubs: The DT Swiss Ratchet System is known for its ease of servicing. Periodic cleaning and lubrication of the ratchets can ensure optimal engagement and longevity. Refer to DT Swiss documentation for detailed service intervals and procedures.
  • Spokes & Nipples: Check spoke tension periodically. The Prolock Squorx nipples help maintain tension but visual inspection is recommended. Ensure nipples are clean and free from corrosion.
  • Storage: Store wheels in a clean, dry place. Avoid storing with heavy objects on top that could deform the rims.
