The maximum recommended system weight for the DT Swiss ER 1600 SPLINE Disc Brake Wheel is 120 KG (264.5 lbs).
No, this wheel is designed specifically for 12 x 142 mm thru-axles. It is not compatible with standard quick-release skewers.
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.
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.
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.
No, while the wheel is tubeless-ready and optimized for tubeless setups, it is also compatible with standard clincher tires and tubes.
The wheel includes pre-installed tubeless rim tape and a tubeless valve.
The hub bearings may require cleaning and lubrication. Consult the DT Swiss manual for specific instructions on servicing the 350 hub.
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.
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 36-tooth ratchet system may require cleaning and fresh grease. If the issue persists, the ratchet rings might need replacement.
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.
