Clean and inspect the parts
1. Use solvent to completely remove all old grease and
debris from the hub, axle, and axle parts.
2. Inspect the bearing running surfaces of both the ball cones and the ball cups (inside the hub). Replace any cones. If the cups are worn, replace the hub shell.
1. Remove external seals (Fig. 2A) with a screwdriver. Be careful not to tear or mar the rubber.
2. On one side (either) of the hub place a 13mm cone wrench on the ball cone. Place a 17mm cone wrench on the end nut (Fig. 3A). Loosen the end nut.
3. Remove the end nut, washer, and ball cone from the axle (Fig. 4A).
4. Slide the axle, with the other end nut, washer, and ball cone still attached, out of the hub (Fig. 4A).
5. Gently insert a thin screwdriver blade under the shell shield (Fig. 5A) and lift to remove the shield from the hub. Pry off the shell shields from both sides of the hub.
6. If inspection shows it necessary, remove the other end nut and ball cone.

ASSEMBLY
Shell shield
1. Place eleven 3/16” balls in
the ball cup on one side of the hub.
2. Place the shell shield, with its sharp edges facing out (Fig. 6A), into the hub. The shell shield is a press fit, so must be tapped lightly to fully seat. Lay a cone wrench over the shell shield and tap the wrench with a hammer (Fig. 7A) to protect the shield and ensure that it is flush with
Bearings in bearing cup
the shell.
3. Repeat Assembly steps 1-2 for the other side of the hub.
4. Tighten the end nut against the ball cone on the axle. Hold the ball cone with a 13mm cone wrench on the axle flats while turning the end nut with a 17mm cone wrench.
5. Insert the axle through the hub from either side.
6. Thread the ball cone, wash­er, and end nut onto the axle in that order. The serrated surface of the end nut faces out.
7. Hold the ball cone with a 13mm cone wrench and tighten the end nut with a 17mm cone wrench.
8. Check the bearing adjust­ment by turning the axle with your fingers. The axle should spin smoothly without binding or feeling gritty. There should be no lateral play of the axle in the hub. Readjust the hub as necessary, and re-lock the end nut.
9. Install the external seals, and apply grease where the seals
Seal not seated
contact the hub shell and axle parts. Make sure the seals prop­erly seal against both the end nut and the hub shell. There should be a smooth transition from seal to sealing surface. An improperly installed seal (Fig. 8A) will allow rapid con­tamination of the bearings.
After completing assembly of the hub, check its function by spinning the axle with your fingers. It should rotate freely without irregular friction. A small amount of lateral play is acceptable if the play is eliminated when the wheel is installed with the quick release properly closed.

Freehub body information (non-DT Swiss)
FREEHUB BODY RUNNING CHANGE
Bontrager rear hubs use an unique freehub body that in some cases has encountered removal issues. In these cases, a high amount of torque is necessary to remove or install the freehub body attachment bolt.
To resolve this problem a running change was made to the 2001 product line. The older, direct contact style of freehub body has been replaced with a splined freehub body attachment. This splined attachment requires less bolt torque. Since it is a running change, the following information is necessary to identify which freehub body is on a wheel.
If there is a date code stamped on the freehub body it probably uses a splined attachment. If there is no date, it is a threaded attachment. After May 2000, both styles of freehub bodies (both attachment types) will have this date mark.
These different styles of freehub bodies are not inter­changeable.
Identification of freehub bodies
Threaded freehub body
CNC line
Fig. 1
With the older, threaded freehub body, there are two identifiers. First, there is a CNC machine line approximately 10mm from the outside end of the freehub body (Fig. 1).
Second, the thread-attached freehub body is designed to be removed with a 12mm allen wrench.
INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
If the freehub body is worn or damaged, replace it.
Removing the freehub body
1. Follow the Disassembly instructions for the hub. Remove the axle, and then the right side bearings.
2. Determine the correct size of allen wrench to engage the freehub body attachment bolt.
3. Unthread the bolt in a counter-clockwise direction (standard threading).
Installing the freehub body
1. Carefully clean the mating surfaces and threads of the freehub body, hub shell, and attachment bolt.
2. Lubricate the threads of the attachment bolt with Wrench Force™ synthetic grease, or a similar product.
3. Carefully engage the threads of the freehub body attachment bolt into the hub shell. The bolt is steel, and the hub is aluminum, so cross-threading the bolt will result in destruction of the hub shell.
4. With the new splined freehub engagement, make sure the splines are aligned as you tighten the attachment bolt.
For the older, threaded style freehub body, tighten the
freehub attachment bolt to 350 lb•in (40Nm).
For the newer, splined design, tighten the freehub
attachment bolt to 400 lb•in (45.2 Nm).
Fig. 4
Splined freehub body
The newer, splined attach­ment (Fig. 2) freehub body has no CNC line. Further, it is designed to use an 11mm allen wrench for removal. A special adapter (TCG #211338) is made which attaches to an 8mm allen wrench to fit the 11mm allen head of the freehub attachment

bolt (Fig. 3).
In addition, as a running change the new hub bodies will include a 6-digit part number embossed on the outside of the hub shell where it is plainly vis­ible. All hubs with the part num­ber visible use the splined free­hub body.

Fig. 5F
Assemble the hub
1. Press the right bearing onto the right side of the axle, denoted by the smooth, non-threaded area with a shoulder.
Note: the black seal of the bearing faces out (Fig. 5F).
2. Place the axle through the freehub body.
3. Press the bearing into the hub shell with the bear­ing press.
4. Slide the left bearing onto the axle with the black seal facing out. Thread the axle spacer onto the axle, and use the bearing press to press the left bearing into the hub. The axle should turn freely with no lateral play in the hub shell.
5. Place the bearing seals into the hub with the let­tered surface facing out.
6. Thread the axle spacer onto the axle. Place a 17mm cone wrench on the axle spacer and a 15mm cone wrench on the end nut. Tighten the end nut against the axle spacer.
After completing assembly of the hub, check its function by spinning the axle with your fingers. It should rotate freely without irregular friction. A small amount of lateral play is acceptable if the play is eliminated when the wheel is installed with the quick release properly closed.
Clean and inspect the parts
1. Wipe old grease or debris from the hub bearing
seats.
2. Normally, bearings are not re-used. If you are re­installing an old bearing, wipe off any grease or debris from both the inner and out surfaces.
Do not use solvent on the bearing, as the solvent will
contaminate the grease. This may cause bearing failure.

DT-Swiss Comp series hubs
Important information before you begin with Comp series hubs
Some Bontrager front hubs utilize DT Swiss internal parts. This manual is intended for retailers with the appropriate skills and knowledge to work on these hubs. Please read the entire section before carrying out any kind of maintenance work.
This manual details the principle design features of DT Swiss front hubs and also provides instructions as to maintenance and repair work. Please take special care to use only original DT Swiss special tools in order to undertake the work details in this manual. Use only DT Swiss replacement parts.
In this manual, the hubs are shown installed in a complete wheel. Maintenance work should be carried out on complete wheels where possible. Otherwise, some steps can not be carried out correctly.
This manual provides technical and spare parts infor­mation for these hubs. If you have further questions about these hubs regarding technical information, sup­port, or warranty, they should be directed to Bontrager Technical Support via phone or on the Bontrager web site at www.bontrager.com.
In the event of improper servicing of the hubs, Bontrager has the right to refuse any warranty.
Special information before you begin
Bearing resistance: New or newly re-built hubs have a higher rolling resistance than used hubs because the grease in the freehub has not yet been evenly distributed and the seals have not yet bedded in.
Check your work: Before use, always check the hub for proper functioning.
Tool list for DT Swiss front hubs
The following tools may be necessary to perform maintenance work on DT Swiss Comp series hubs:
Long bearing press
Short bearing press
DT 17mm cone wrench
Comp front hub bearing press
Multi-purpose DT grease
Long bearing press
These maintenance items are available as TCG part #211416.
Short bearing press
Special screw­driver
Front hub bear­ing press
Regular Maintenance
Maintenance of the front hubs should be performed at least once a year. This maintenance schedule is based on normal usage. If you ride your bike more than average, or in rain, snow, or off road conditions, service your bicycle more often than the schedule suggests. If any part appears to be malfunctioning, inspect and service it immediately.
Things to avoid
Avoid high pressure washing systems, like those at most car washes. The high pressure can bypass bearing seals, letting water into the bearings. Do not use any kind of solvents or tensides- this can damage the hub.

This manual details the principle design features of DT Swiss hubs and also provides instructions as to main­tenance and repair work. Please take special care to use only original DT Swiss special tools in order to undertake the work details in this manual. Use only DT Swiss replacement parts.

In the event of improper servicing of the hubs, Bontrager has the right to refuse any warranty.
Special information before you begin
Bearing play: A small amount of play between the free­hub body and the hub shell is automatically eliminated when the wheel is installed and the quick release is tightened.
Bearing resistance: New or newly re-built hubs have a higher rolling resistance than used hubs because the grease in the freehub has not yet been evenly distributed and the seals have not yet bedded in.
Aluminum freehub bodies: For hubs with an alumi­num freehub body, we recommend cassettes using a solid, one piece spider like the Shimano Dura-Ace, Ultegra, XTR, or Deore XT. Cassettes using loose or bolted sprockets like Shimano Deore LX can cause notches in the freehub body. This can cause difficulties when later removing the cassettes from the freehub body (see “Removing Cassettes” on this page).
Check your work: Before use, always check the rear hub for proper functioning. Check the freehub body and the ratchet mechanism. If they do not function correctly, the rear hub should not be used until the fault is cor­rected. If you are unable to correct the fault, consult Bontrager Technical Support.
letting water into the bearings. Do not use any kind of solvents or tensides- this can damage the hub.
Determining the year of hub
There are two styles of rear hub, with some unique parts and different instructions for assem­bly and disassembly. To deter­mine which hub type you will be working on, it is necessary to remove the freehub. With the star ratchet removed, you will be able to see the right side shell bear­ing. If the bearing is completely visible due to its 24mm outer diameter (Fig. FH5), it’s a year 2000 hub. The 2001 model uses a larger, 28mm diameter bearing (Fig. FH6) that is partially cov­ered by the ring nut (requiring the removal of the ring nut).
Removing the cassette from the freehub body
The cassette does not need to be removed from the freehub body to perform regular main­tenance. However, if you decide to remove it, it should only be removed after the hub has been completely re-assembled.
1. Release the lockring using a lockring tool.
2. Loosen the cassette by lightly tapping it counter-clockwise with the hammer.
3. Remove all the sprockets from the freehub body.
4. Use a fine file to remove bad notches from the aluminum free­hub body (Fig. 14H). The aluminum freehub body must be cleaned and inspected. If any cracks or other damage is visible, the components must be replaced.
Note: Notches on the freehub body do not have a negative influence on the functionality of the freewheel.

9. Pull the V-seal off the right end cap (Fig. 13I). Clean it thor­oughly with a cloth, lightly grease it, and reinstall it on the end cap with the open ‘V’ facing the hub.
10. Place the end cap over the right end of the axle and manually press into place. Ensure the end cap is not tilted and that it audibly clicks into place.
After completing assembly of the hub, check its function by giving the cassette a sharp, quick spin. If the ratchets do not catch, there could be too much grease inside the freehub body, or the wrong type of grease was used. In this case, remove some of the grease or replace it using the correct grease.
