FAQs

Is this kit compatible with Shimano 11-speed cassettes?

No, this kit is specifically designed for SRAM XDR cassettes. DT Swiss offers other conversion kits for Shimano compatibility.

Can I use this kit with a thru-axle hub?

No, this kit is designed for 130 mm or 135 mm Quick Release (QR) spacing only and is not compatible with thru-axle systems.

What is the difference between XDR and XD drivers?

SRAM XDR is a 135mm variant of the XD driver and is designed for road and gravel applications, typically with a smaller 10-tooth smallest cog. The XD driver is primarily for mountain biking.

Do I need special tools to install this kit?

Installation typically requires basic bicycle tools, including Allen keys and potentially a chain whip and cassette tool, similar to replacing a standard freehub body. Professional installation is recommended if you are unsure.

How do I confirm my hub is compatible with this conversion kit?

Check the specific model number of your DT Swiss hub or consult your wheel manufacturer's documentation. You can also visit the DT Swiss website for compatibility information.

What is the color of this freehub conversion kit?

The kit is black in color.

Troubleshooting

New freehub is noisy or sticky.

Ensure the freehub is properly lubricated according to DT Swiss specifications. Check for any debris or improper installation.

Cassette does not fit or is loose.

Verify that you have installed the correct XDR freehub body and that it is fully seated on the hub. Ensure you are using an XDR compatible cassette.

Freehub does not engage when pedaling.

Check that the freehub body is correctly installed and that the pawls are functioning. Inspect for damaged or stuck pawls.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility Check: Before installation, ensure your DT Swiss hub is compatible with a pawl-based freehub conversion and that your frame uses either 130 mm or 135 mm Quick Release spacing. This kit is specifically for SRAM XDR cassettes.

Installation: Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with freehub body replacement. Typically, this involves removing the existing freehub body and installing the new XDR version. Specific tools may be required.

Care: Clean the freehub body and pawls periodically with a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh degreasers directly on the pawl mechanism, as this can affect lubrication and performance. Ensure the freehub spins freely after installation and cleaning.
