Unlike traditional pawl systems that rely on small engagement points and higher stress loads, the DT Ratchet System provides simultaneous engagement across a large contact surface. This dramatically improves power transfer, reduces wear, and ensures consistent performance, even under heavy MTB riding conditions. With over 25 years of refinement, DT Swiss remains the benchmark for hub engagement technology.
This kit includes 36T ratchets, offering a balanced engagement angle ideal for trail riding. Riders seeking faster or slower engagement can adjust functionality by switching to 18T or 54T ratchet units (sold separately). Featuring DT’s famously simple tool-free servicing, the Ratchet LN system allows for quick maintenance at home or even trailside.
Designed specifically for DT Swiss 370 hubs, such as those used on DT Swiss 1900 Series wheels, this conversion kit works exclusively with Ratchet LN systems and is not compatible with Ratchet or Ratchet EXP hubs. For proper installation, DT recommends the use of the HBDT835 Ratchet Ring Nut Tool and HBDT5266 Pawl Ringnut Tool, ideally fitted by a qualified mechanic.
