You clearly have done this many times and know what you're doing. But for first timers, a tip I found from another video was to only knock out one bearing at a time. Then you can use it as a guide for axle and the new bearing you are inserting so that it goes in perfectly straight. Oh and you have done in 9 minutes what would take me an hour if I were to attempt this 😂

for other models maybe but here the axle is inside you can not choose to put it or not when you are mounting the bearings. For drive side that is without and the other side with.

In this video the ratchet ring must have been previously loosened. Otherwise it isn't so easy to remove. I have removed several and changed the bearings and it's always the same struggle to remove the ratchet ring.

He used the wheel as a lever, which makes it significantly easier.

@@rustler08 no chance... even with both my brother and I using the wheel as a lever...the two of us couldn't make it budge. It's not easy...try it. Finally we made a special leaver to give extra leverage.

Yeah, no way a ring nut comes out that easy, sorry not buying it.

I am guessing there are two game changers here -he puts grease on it when mounting not the case in the official DT video -that is a wheel for pro bikers, the bearing must be changed every few races meaning it stays on it just a bunch of days and less than 100km. And not several years and 10 000km like normal owners.

So where is the tip ???

@mtbbiker6401 2 жыл бұрын

Tip: find a DT Swiss mechanic to replace your bearings while you watch.

Is it necessary to remove the ratchet? I know it's recommended but can one replace the DS bearing without it if one doesn't have the ratchet tool?

@robwatkinson4853 5 жыл бұрын

You don't need a ratchet tool. The end cap pops off with a little force. Just keep the cassette on and then lightly pull the big cog outwards. This will pop end cap off. You can then remove the cassette. Worth loosening the cassette lock ring first a bit before you do this so it's easy to take off once it is off with the freehub.

@carlosflanders518 5 жыл бұрын

I should have made my question more clear. I was asking about the ratchet ring that screws into the hub shell, and if it was necessary to remove it to get at the DS bearing. Investigated a little bit more and talked to my LBS. You do need a tool to remove the DS bearing. On my hub, the ratchet ring overlaps the bearing diameter. impossible to remove the bearing if you don't remove the ratchet ring. This may be different on newer hubs. Other than that working on the hub is easy as is removing the cassette and end caps.

@@carlosflanders518 , according to DT Swiss, it "can" be done without removing the ring but they don't recommend it. SUPER tight tolerances risk screwing things up. The tool is dirt cheap....like $15 on eBay.

@dorkapotamus7455 3 жыл бұрын

i think the issue is less about the tool or cost and more about how insanely tight the drive ring can get. Very hard to break loose.

@alex_smallet 2 жыл бұрын

Am I mistaken or he just hammered the old bearings out with the axle and no tools?

@sztigirigi 2 жыл бұрын

This is the official procedure. Works, doesn't do any damage and is necessary for at least one bearing. The axle is tool here.

The drive ring can stay in as the bearing is slightly smaller .....

pros do not have time for fancy press tools, hammer would do

@MTBfixHQ 3 жыл бұрын

I'm sure he would use a press if possible, but since that axle needs to be between those bearings you can't really do that. As you can tell he is still using special made tools along with the axle to guide the bearings in perfectly, no chance of going in crooked

He uses all the tools from official dt Swiss procedure.

He is pressing them with the DT Swiss tools which places the load on the outer races. Totally fine with his approach

Contrast the amazing work of this guy to so called experts on KZfaq faffing arounf with a DT wheel. Those guys are rank amateurs compared to this guy.
