AtEscapa, we carry all original Specialized accessories, components, and replacement parts. TheDt Swiss Rear Hubs for Specialized Road Bikes 142mm featureDt Swiss’s innovative drive body mounting system. Instead of the eccentric clamping principle developed for road bikes more than 80 years ago, the RWS generates clamping force by tightening a threaded Union with a lever. Operation is very simple: tighten the clamp by turning the lever clockwise as hard as you can by hand (at least 15 Nm). Depending on the frame design, this can also be done by changing the lever’s position several times. Then lift the lever and turn it to the desired position: the drive is securely and firmly mounted.
Because there are no plastic parts in the RWS’s force transmission path, the clamping force is temperature-independent, making the RWS 100% compatible with disc brakes! The direct transfer of leverage to the thread allows the RWS to achieve up to 50% more clamping force than conventional quick-releases. This is not only safer but also increases stiffness, which is particularly noticeable with disc brakes.
