AtEscapa, we carry the best wheel and component brands on the market, such as Dt Swiss. The Dt Swiss RWS 178mm 12mm Rear Hub is rigid, secure, and easy to use. The plug-in version offers all the advantages of tool-free installation with the plug-in axle, if you prefer. If you prefer the clean look of a screw-in axle, simply pull out the quick-release unit and stow it in your backpack. Or leave it at home.
The axle features a 6 mm hex socket that can be operated with any standard tool. The quick-release unit also has a 6 mm hex socket, which, of course, can also be used as a mini-tool on the road.
Clean and smart: the RWS add-on.
Because there are no plastic parts in the RWS mechanism, the clamping force is temperature-independent, making the RWS 100% compatible with disc brakes!
Thanks to the direct transmission of lever force to the thread, the RWS can achieve a clamping force up to 50% greater than that of conventional quick-release clamps. This is not only safer but also increases stiffness, which is particularly noticeable with disc brakes.
