DT Swiss EXP Rear Hub Tool Kit

No, this specific tool kit is engineered exclusively for the DT Swiss EXP rear hub system. It will not work with the older, standard star ratchet hubs, so please verify your hub model before purchasing.

While this kit handles the critical interface for the EXP ratcheting system, you will still need standard shop tools like a torque wrench and appropriate grease to complete the full service. Always refer to the DT Swiss technical manual for the complete list of requirements for your specific hub model.

The EXP system features a proprietary threaded ring that is easily damaged by standard tools. Using this factory-designed tool ensures the correct interface, preventing stripped threads or damage to the delicate internal drive mechanism.

Yes, it is designed to make the process straightforward and safe, provided you follow the official DT Swiss service instructions. It removes the guesswork and risk of using improvised tools, making it a great addition to any home workshop.

Maintenance intervals depend heavily on your riding conditions, but a general rule is to inspect and re-grease the ratchets at least once a season. If you ride in wet, muddy, or dusty conditions, you should service the hub more frequently to ensure longevity.
