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.

  John MeyerAug 26, 2025
  A stiffly rotating DT SWISS Bicycle Accessories hub can occur if the ball bearings are worn out or the ball bearing on the non-drive side is too tight. Also, the mounting sequence of the ball bearings might not have been observed, or the ball bearing might have been pressed too far into the threaded ratchet before assembly. Replace the ball bearings if they are worn out, or check the correct assembly.

  A blocked DT SWISS Bicycle Accessories freewheel can occur if a spacer was forgotten during assembly or if the spacer was compressed by overtightening the thru axle. Check the correct assembly.
