- The DT Swiss 54-tooth racing ratchet kit changes
the degree of engagement of a DT rear hub from 20 degrees with 18 teeth to just
6.5 degrees, which results in an incredibly fast engagement
- Machined out ratchets are 10 grams lighter per
set compared to the standard 18 tooth ratchets
- Note that the smaller, shallower teeth required
to increase the engagement points do shorten the hub's service intervals (as
they would with any freehub design) we therefore recommend this kit only for
racers and those seeking ultimate performance, If you'd rather 'fit and forget'
then you are advised to stick with our bombproof and famously reliable 18 tooth
ratchets
- Compatible with all DT star ratchet based hubs
A nice set of wheels are
some of the best upgrades you can make to your bike. But, nice wheels aren't
only about being lightweight and high strength. It's also about performance.
Increasing the rate of hub engagment will give you more immmediate power right
when you need it. Power out of corners and ratchet up technical climbs without
losing power output to excessive slack or free stroke in your cranks. The DT
Swiss Ratchet 54t Upgrade kit, will triple the engagement points of your stock
18 tooth star ratchet. After installation engagement, of your hub will only
take 6.6° of pedal movement vs the 20 degrees stock set up. The kit includes
everything you need to make the swap quick swap including two star ratchets,
two springs and DT Swiss' specially formulated Molykote grease. Upgrade fits DT
Swiss 190 ceramic, 240, 350 or 440 hubs.
