FAQs
What is the difference between this hub and the DT Swiss 240 hub?
The 350 hub is based on the 240's design but features a less extensively machined hub shell and axle, resulting in a slightly higher weight but a more accessible price point. The 240 typically uses lighter materials and more complex machining for weight savings.
Can I use this hub with a quick-release skewer?
No, this is a 12x100mm thru-axle hub. It is not compatible with standard quick-release skewers without adapters, which are not typically available for this configuration.
What type of disc brake mount does it use?
This hub uses the Center-Lock disc brake mount system.
How many spokes does this hub accommodate?
This specific model is drilled for 24 spokes.
Is this hub suitable for e-bikes?
While durable, the 350 hub is generally designed for traditional pedal-powered bicycles. For e-bikes, consider hubs specifically engineered for the higher torque and loads involved.
What is the warranty period for DT Swiss hubs?
DT Swiss typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official DT Swiss website or your point of purchase for the most current warranty information.
Troubleshooting
Hub bearings feel rough or loose
Inspect the hub end caps and ensure they are properly seated. Check the thru-axle tension. If roughness persists, the bearings may need servicing or replacement by a qualified mechanic.
Disc rotor does not mount securely
Verify that you are using a Center-Lock compatible rotor and the correct Center-Lock lockring. Ensure the lockring is tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque.
Wheel feels wobbly or untrue
This is likely a wheel build issue, not a hub defect. Check spoke tension and trueness with a wheel truing stand. Consult your wheel builder.
Pros and Cons

- Secure and simple Center-Lock rotor mounting.
- Straight pull design for improved stiffness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The DT Swiss 350 Straight Pull hub is designed for standard 100mm front fork spacing with a 12mm thru-axle. Ensure your frame or fork is compatible with these dimensions. Disc rotors are secured via the Center-Lock interface; use the appropriate Center-Lock lockring tool for installation. Spoke lacing should follow standard patterns for 24-hole hubs, keeping in mind the straight pull nature of the spokes.
Compatibility: This hub is compatible with Center-Lock disc brake rotors. It uses a 12x100mm thru-axle system, common on modern road, gravel, and mountain bikes. Ensure your wheel builder is experienced with straight pull spokes for optimal results.
Care: Regular cleaning with mild soap and water is recommended. Avoid high-pressure washing directly at the hub bearings. Periodically inspect bearings for smoothness. While the freehub mechanism (on rear hubs, not applicable here) is known for its durability, the front hub requires minimal maintenance beyond basic cleaning. If you notice any roughness in the bearings, consult a qualified bike mechanic for service or replacement.
