DT Swiss

EXP Ratchet Upgrade Kit

DT Swiss is renowned for its precision engineering and high-quality manufacturing of bicycle components. Their products, especially hubs and wheels, are designed for optimal performance, durability, and reliability, making them a favorite among serious cyclists and professionals alike.

The Ratchet EXP system allows for quick engagement and disengagement of the hub, which means you can pedal more efficiently. This system is lighter and more responsive than previous models, providing a smoother ride and better power transfer, especially during acceleration.

The cylindrical spring in the Ratchet EXP system provides essential tension that ensures the ratchet engages quickly and fully. This responsiveness is crucial for maintaining momentum and improving overall bike performance, especially during climbs or sprints.

Bearing distance refers to the spacing between the bearings in the hub. Increasing this distance enhances the stiffness and stability of the hub, which translates to better handling and feedback while riding. A well-designed bearing distance can significantly improve your cycling experience.

It’s important to use the specific type of grease recommended by the manufacturer for the Ratchet EXP system. This grease reduces friction between moving parts, ensuring smoother operation and prolonging the life of your components. Using the right lubricant is key to maintaining optimal performance.

Compatibility of DT Swiss components with your bike depends on several factors, including the type of bike, wheel size, and hub specifications. It’s best to check the product details and specifications or consult with a bike mechanic to ensure a proper fit for your specific setup.
