AtEscapa, we carry the best wheel and component brands on the market, such as Dt Swiss. TheDt Swiss RWS TA10 Rear Hubs 135x10 mm feature an innovative system where the RWS clamping force is generated by tightening a threaded connection with a lever.
Operation is very simple: Tighten the clamp by hand as tightly as possible by turning the lever clockwise (min. 15 Nm). Depending on the frame or fork design, this can also be done by turning the lever several times. Then lift the lever and turn it to the desired position: the hub is securely and firmly mounted.
Since there are no plastic parts in the RWS’s power transmission path, the clamping force is temperature-independent, making the RWS 100% suitable for disc brakes!
By transferring the leverage directly to the thread, the RWS can achieve a clamping force up to 50% greater than with conventional quick-releases. This is not only safer but also increases stiffness, which is particularly noticeable with disc brakes.
The Dt Swiss Thru Bolt further optimizes the RWS system. Instead of the standard 5 mm-thick quick-release axle, a 10 mm thru-bolt axle is used at the rear. Together with the Dt Swiss Thru Bolt hub, this ensures an even better connection to the frame and fork than with the standard RWS or other quick-release systems. The RWS Thru Bolt system combines the advantages of a fixed thru-bolt axle with the ease of use of a quick-release. The RWS Thru Bolt system is 100% compatible with any standard frame or fork that normally works with a quick-release.
