FAQ

How do I know if my DT Swiss hub needs bearing replacement?

Signs include lateral wheel play, grinding or rough feel when spinning the wheel by hand, or a notchy sensation through the pedals. When in doubt, pull the hub apart and inspect the bearing races.

Why use a DT Swiss OEM bearing instead of a generic replacement?

OEM bearings are matched to the hub shell tolerances and seal design that DT Swiss engineered the product around. Generic alternatives may fit dimensionally but often have looser tolerances or inferior seals.

How often should DT Swiss hub bearings be replaced?

Service intervals depend heavily on riding conditions. Wet and muddy riding accelerates wear significantly. Inspect annually at minimum, and any time you notice play or roughness in the wheel.

Best For

Mechanics and home wrenchers who want to keep DT Swiss hubs running at factory spec rather than gambling on generic bearings during a rebuild.
