DT Swiss is one of the largest hub makers in the
industry, and is well known for making lightweight,
precise, refined hubs with incredible durability. DT
Swiss 350s are many cyclists’ budget-minded
go-to hubset. We stock them in almost all axle spacings
and riding types (mountain, road, fat). Their Star
Ratchet system has 18T as standard, with 36T and 54T
offered as an upgrade option
with an extra cost of $85 or $100 USD.

We can hardly find any negative reviews of the legendary
DT 240s. The hubs are durable, smooth-rolling, and easy
to maintain at home. The engagement is smooth and can
handle a lot of torque.
If you re-grease the ratchet (can be done without any
tools) you can keep them running quietly.
The old 240s are out of production now.

The most reliable 240 hubs get a major performance boost
with the new internal - Ratchet EXP freehub system
(firstly used in the 180S). The EXP system has fewer
moving parts which contributes
to weight loss and faster full engagement. The design
also allows the drive-side bearing to move outboard thus
creating a stiffer and wider stance.
DT Swiss 180 hubs are the lightest of the DT Swiss
family. The freehub system is even lighter and more
reliable thanks to the Ratchet Exp innovation. In the
traditional Star Ratchet system, two
springs are used to push two ratchets against each
other, while the Ratchet EXP 180 hubs require only one
spring due to the fusion of the inboard ratchet and hub
shell. The reduced number
of components contributes to weight loss and increased
stiffness by 15% as claimed by DT Swiss. You can perform
tool-free maintenance easily at home as the end caps are
redesigned for ease
of maintenance. SINC ceramic bearings are included -
faster than the common steel bearings.
The Torch road hubs have solid reliable engagement that
can handle high torque output. Each pawl has 2 notches
with 6 points of contact when you stomp the pedals!
  They come in a wide array of
options, from different hole counts, brake styles, and
various spacing options to match your ride. The hubs
have a refined but relatively simple design which makes
them easy to service. Though
we just list and stock some of the axle spacings and
colors for I9 hubs, contact us or leave a checkout note
if you want a special order.
The 1/1 is the latest hubset from the North Carolina
company aimed at providing the legendary Industry Nine
performance at a more economical price. With its
dual-phase pawl system and 45 tooth
drive-ring, the hub achieves an impressive 90 points of
engagement, just 4° between engagements. The 1/1 is not
the most expensive offering but is still dependable and
lightweight.
As the new flagship of Industry Nine, the Hydra hits the
headlines with its 690 point freehub system - super
responsive!   Despite the massive amount of
engagement, they have really low drag due
to their clever engineering using the slight flex in the
axle to allow additional pawls to bite into the drive as
torque is applied. Bearing life is also improved with
the axle’s ability
to flex slightly under heavy load. Though the Hydra
looks similar to the previous Torch mountain hubs, the
internals including the axle and end caps are a complete
redesign!
We are pleased to announce Carbon-Ti X-Hubs were recently
added to our stock offering. These Italian made hubs
achieve an excellent combination of durability and fair
price, while also staying
lightweight. With straight pull spokes and wide bracing
angles, X-Hubs build very stable wheels. Keep them
rolling smooth for miles with their easy to use bearing
preload system. If you’re
looking for top-class lightweight hubs for road use,
these should be on your shortlist.

Chris King has been making high precision hubs in Oregon,
USA longer than most of their competitors have been in
existence. They have a patented RingDrive system with 72
points of engagement
and a distinctive buzzing sound. The unique system is
able to handle over 800 pounds of torque and delivers
power to the wheels almost instantly. The canted design
of flanges greatly boosts
hub stiffness. Don’t worry about mud and water seepage
as the rear hub has heavy-duty bearing seals to protect
against contamination. They are well known for making
their own bearings which
are the best in the industry. The bearings are steel by
default, but If you want to upgrade to ceramic, please
leave a note when ordering.

The R45D is the lightest Chris King disc hubset designed
for road disc use. The patented RingDrive system
promises 45 points of engagement to get your energy
instantly transformed to forward
momentum. The R45D with 45 POE is quieter and has less
drag compared to their mountain hubs.
If you get fed up with the clicking sound of the
pawl-based hubs, the patented sprag clutch system
deployed by Onyx will help you regain inner peace. With
any input at the cranks, the sprags
wind up and instantly engage!   Although they are
heavier than most hubs, the instant engagement, silence,
and lowest drag of any hub, attracts many customers. If
that’s not enough to turn
your crank, perhaps the 23+ color options might entice
you!

Onyx hubs feature instant engagement, silent coasting,
and low drag, with the mere disadvantage of being a
little heavy due to the sprag clutch design. The Vesper
nets a weight loss of 65 grams
on average compared to the Classic model. An upgrade to
ceramic bearings saves an extra 9 grams. Vesper hubs now
weigh almost the same as Hope Pro 4s, lighter than most
Chris Kings, and within
100g of really lightweight hubs like Industry Nine Hydra
and DT Swiss 240s.
The KillHill/ClimbHill (King/Kong) hubset is Tune’s #1
seller. These efficient lightweight hubs are made of
aviation
class aluminum with high strength. Their
corrosion-resistant anodized finish comes in a number of
classy colors to suit
your ride. Available in standard/endurance/ceramic
bearings.
At under 300g per hubset, the Prince and Princess hubs
(endurance/ceramic bearings) target serious XC racers
who are
looking for a competitive advantage. The ceramic
bearings are rounder and harder than steel bearings
which significantly
reduce the rolling resistance. A professional hubset
made for racing!
Can you get DT Swiss 240 disc hubs 24/28 holes for a wheel build with j bend spokes? I líke the new AR 50 rims.
LightBicycle2022/08/25
Hi Neil,
Thanks for reaching out!
I am afraid that we only have straight pull DT 240 road disc hubs. Will this work for you? We can do 24H/28H for you. But if you are not a heavy rider, 24H on the rear wheel would be sufficient as well.
Thanks,

Hi there, I am looking for a 650b wheelset for my gravel bike. It seems like the Falcon Pro WR35 fits my needs very well but I am worried about the 24 spokes. I do ride on single track a lot and would like to be confident that the wheel is strong enough. I will ride 2-2.2”/50-60mm tires.
Spacing is 12x100/12x142 and I was looking at the bitex hubs for cost and good quality. How is their engagement?
Please let me know if you think 24 spokes is strong enough or if have any other recommendations. Thank you!
LightBicycle2022/05/20
Hi Jacob,
May i know your weight please? Do you ride aggressively ? We can check whether WR35 gravel 650B wheelset and Bitex hubs are good enough for you or not.

For DT Swiss 240 EXP new hubs, the decal is not removable. It is a kind of laser or anodizing logo. We can not make in grey or other color. It is black hubs with red logo.

I snapped the inner axle this week (cassette fell off when I removed wheel). Is there a replacement axle available? I can send photos via email for further clarification.
LightBicycle2020/11/26
Hi Sir,
What axle size do you have? Normally, I would suggest getting a replacement from the local bike shop. Because that would be easier for you. But please send the specs or photos if you prefer to have our opinion involved. It's an honor.

We still have some DT Swiss 240S ,not new EXP version. It is 18T ratchet boost hubs. Does it work for you? If yes, you can check on below 27.5 wheelset.

I weight 280lbs with gear, looking at EN733 rims/wheel set with 12x100 front and 12x142 Shimano HG rear, center lock disc. I will be riding an Open WI.DE (gravel road bike). I wont ever ride these rims on a mountain bike. Will the HD version of this rim be enough for my weight? Is it possible to get a heavier duty weave (weight is non-issue)? Thanks
LightBicycle2020/08/14
Hi Nick,
We have quotated through email for 27.5 EN733 wheelset. Please check your email. Our EN733 650b rims/wheels are strong enough for 280lbs rider.
Thanks,
