FAQs
Can I use this kit on non-DT Swiss hubs?
No, this kit is specifically engineered for DT Swiss 350 and 370 front hubs.
Do I need special tools to install this kit?
While some end caps are hand-removable, others may require a soft-jaw pliers or a dedicated hub service tool.
Is this kit compatible with 12mm or 20mm axles?
No, this kit is specifically designed for a 15mm thru-axle configuration.
How often should I service these end caps?
It is recommended to clean and re-grease the end caps whenever you perform a general wheel or bearing service, typically every 6-12 months depending on riding conditions.
Are the retaining rings reusable?
Yes, but if they appear stretched or damaged during removal, it is highly recommended to replace them to ensure a secure fit.
Troubleshooting
End caps do not fit flush against the hub
Verify that the old end caps have been completely removed and that there is no debris inside the axle bore.
Axle is difficult to slide through
Ensure the internal sleeve of the hub is aligned correctly and that you have applied a light coating of grease to the axle surface.
Wheel has lateral play after installation
Check that the retaining rings are fully seated and that the fork dropouts are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, remove the existing end caps from your hub. Some may pull off by hand, while others may require a bearing puller or specific hub tool. Ensure the hub shell and seals are clean before inserting the new 15mm end caps. Always apply a light layer of high-quality bike grease to the contact points.
Compatibility Note: This kit is strictly for DT Swiss 350 and 370 front hubs. Always cross-reference your specific hub serial number with the official DT Swiss Technical Manual before purchase.
Care: Periodically remove the caps to check for debris accumulation behind the seals. Clean with a lint-free cloth and re-apply fresh grease to maintain smooth operation and prevent corrosion.
