This kit transforms your existing DT Swiss hubs into the highly acclaimed Ratchet freehub system, renowned for its superior reliability and smooth engagement. Crafted for MTB enthusiasts, it features an 18-tooth SRAM XD Hybrid Steel ratchet that enhances durability and power transfer efficiency on every ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ratchet LN system replaces the traditional pawl mechanism, which often concentrates stress on small contact points, with a robust, evenly distributed engagement surface. This design reduces wear and tear, providing a longer-lasting and more dependable hub. Additionally, the modular nature of the Ratchet system allows you to customize your engagement angle by swapping the 18-tooth ratchets for 36 or 54 tooth variants, available separately, offering flexibility to suit your riding style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaintaining your hub is effortless thanks to the tool-free servicing concept, enabling quick adjustments even during rides. However, installation requires specialized tools (HBDT835 and HBDT5266) and is best performed by a qualified mechanic to ensure optimal performance. Note that this LN system is compatible exclusively with 370 hubs, such as those on DT’s 1900 series wheels, and is not interchangeable with standard Ratchet or Ratchet EXP hubs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnhancing hub engagement reliability with a robust ratchet mechanism\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReducing stress and wear by distributing force evenly across ratchet faces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCustomizing engagement angle with modular 18, 36, or 54 tooth ratchets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFacilitating quick, tool-free maintenance during rides\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUpgrading 3-pawl hubs to a more durable and refined freehub system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s NOT Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse with standard Ratchet or Ratchet EXP hubs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstallation without proper tools and mechanical expertise\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatibility outside the DT Swiss 370 hub family\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRiders seeking a pawl-based freehub mechanism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I install this conversion kit myself?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstallation requires specific tools (HBDT835 and HBDT5266) and mechanical knowledge; DT Swiss recommends having a qualified mechanic perform the upgrade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this fit my DT Swiss wheels?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis kit is compatible only with DT Swiss 370 hubs, such as those on the 1900 series complete wheels, and not with standard Ratchet or Ratchet EXP hubs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DT Swiss","offers":[{"title":"Shimano Micro Spline MTB \/ Hybrid Steel Grey","offer_id":45795547807919,"sku":"HBDTLNKIT01","price":94.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Shimano Micro Spline MTB \/ Black Alloy","offer_id":45795547840687,"sku":"HBDTLNKIT02","price":84.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"SRAM XD \/ Hybrid Steel Grey","offer_id":45795547873455,"sku":"HBDTLNKIT03","price":94.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"SRAM XD \/ Black Alloy","offer_id":45795547906223,"sku":"HBDTLNKIT04","price":84.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Shimano MTB \/ Hybrid Steel Grey","offer_id":45795547938991,"sku":"HBDTLNKIT05","price":84.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Shimano MTB \/ Black Alloy","offer_id":45795547971759,"sku":"HBDTLNKIT06","price":74.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Shimano 11-Speed Road \/ Black Alloy","offer_id":45795548004527,"sku":"HBDTLNKIT08","price":74.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/2003\/4223\/files\/hbdtlnkit01rw.jpg?v=1768528562","url":"https:\/\/www.swinnertoncycles.co.uk\/products\/dt-swiss-ratchet-ln-conversion-kit-for-3-pawl-mtb-hubs-18-tooth-sram-xd-steel","provider":"Swinnerton Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
