Why does my DT SWISS Bicycle Accessories freewheel slip?

O
Oscar KirbyAug 19, 2025
If the DT SWISS Bicycle Accessories freewheel slips or doesn't engage, it could be due to several reasons. The ratchet might be loose or mounted upside down. Too much or the wrong type of grease on the ratchets can also cause this. The ratchets could be worn, or a spring might have been forgotten during assembly. Another cause can be wear of the internal teeth of the freewheel body. In this case, replace the loose ratchet and the freewheel body, and thoroughly clean the freewheel system. In the other cases, check the correct assembly and clean and grease or replace the ratchets.
