Review on ๐Ÿšฒ DT Swiss MTB Rear Steel Hub - 135mm DT RWS Skewer by Eric Pavelko

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent design, soft thread on the nut.

Love the design. Love the extra clamping force but be careful. I must have overtightened the QR and the threads in the QR nuts are completely loose. I was in rural Alberta at the time, so it was pretty bad. I'm sure DT designed the QR nut to fail before the pivot itself, but the threads failed almost as if they were aluminum. I managed to unwind a thread from a skewer. Luckily, as it turns out, GoPro nuts are the same size as quick release nuts.

Pros
  • Rugged finish
Cons
  • Requires power outlet
