FAQs

What is the maximum recommended system weight for this wheel?

The maximum recommended system weight for the DT Swiss ER 1600 SPLINE Disc Brake Wheel is 120 KG (264.5 lbs).

Can I use this wheel with a standard quick-release skewer?

No, this wheel is designed specifically for 12 x 142 mm thru-axles. It is not compatible with standard quick-release skewers.

What type of tires are best suited for this wheel?

The 22 mm internal rim width is ideal for tires ranging from 28c to 35c, including high-volume tubeless models. It also works with standard clincher tires.

Does the wheel come with a cassette spacer?

This specific variant is for a SRAM XDR freehub body and is designed to work with SRAM XDR cassettes. It does not typically include a spacer for other cassette types.

How do I convert this wheel to a different freehub body standard (e.g., Shimano HG)?

You would typically need to purchase a separate freehub body conversion kit compatible with DT Swiss 350 hubs and the desired drivetrain. Please check DT Swiss's official documentation or consult a dealer for specific part numbers.

Is this wheel compatible with tubeless-ready (TLR) tires only?

No, while the wheel is tubeless-ready and optimized for tubeless setups, it is also compatible with standard clincher tires and tubes.

What is included with the wheel?

The wheel includes pre-installed tubeless rim tape and a tubeless valve.

Troubleshooting

Wheel is not spinning freely or feels gritty.

The hub bearings may require cleaning and lubrication. Consult the DT Swiss manual for specific instructions on servicing the 350 hub.

Difficulty mounting tubeless tire.

Ensure the rim tape is properly seated and there are no leaks. Use a good quality tubeless sealant and a compressor or CO2 inflator if necessary to seat the tire bead.

Spokes feel loose or make noise.

Spoke tension may need adjustment. It's recommended to have this checked and adjusted by a qualified bike mechanic to maintain wheel integrity and prevent damage.

The freehub is not engaging reliably.

The 36-tooth ratchet system may require cleaning and fresh grease. If the issue persists, the ratchet rings might need replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent engagement speed with 36-tooth ratchet system.
  • Versatile rim width accommodates a range of modern tire sizes.
  • Tubeless-ready design enhances ride quality and puncture resistance.
  • Durable construction with quality components like 350 hubs and Aero Comp spokes.
  • Reliable performance for various road and gravel conditions.

Cons

  • Specific rear axle standard (12 x 142 mm thru axle) requires frame compatibility.
  • While versatile, it may not be the absolute lightest option for pure racing applications.
  • SRAM XDR freehub body is specific, requiring adapter for other systems if not intended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This rear wheel is designed for 12 x 142 mm thru-axle frames. Ensure your bicycle frame is compatible with this axle standard. The wheel comes with tubeless rim tape and a valve pre-installed for easy tubeless setup. For SRAM XDR systems, the freehub is pre-fitted; if you are using a different drivetrain (like Shimano HG or Micro Spline), you will need to ensure compatibility or consider a freehub body conversion kit, though this specific model is listed as SRAM XDR.

Compatibility: Primarily compatible with disc brake systems and frames featuring a 12 x 142 mm thru-axle. The rim is tubeless-ready but also accepts standard clincher tires. The freehub body is specified for SRAM XDR, which is important for drivetrain compatibility.

Care: Keep the wheel clean by washing it with mild soap and water. Avoid high-pressure washers. Periodically check spoke tension and nipple condition. For the hubs, regular cleaning and lubrication of the freehub mechanism (following DT Swiss guidelines) will ensure continued smooth operation and engagement. Inspect rim tape for damage if running tubeless.
