Manufacturer warranty: 2 years This RWS through bolt and aluminum lever is the latest version of DT's RWS technology. A machined aluminum lever is found here, while the standard RWS Thru Bolt uses a carbon-reinforced plastic lever arm. The weight is exactly the same. You might be more durable in the event of a crash with these alloy bits, not to mention the appeal of a more sculpted look. RWS stands for Ratchet Wheel Mount System. It looks like a quick release (spring removed), but instead of a lever attached to the cam, it has a lever attached to the bolt head. Turn the lever clockwise to tighten. When there is sufficient resistance (15nm), stop rotating. Press the red button and place the lever where it won't knock. That's it! The benefits are pretty clear. Provides up to 50% more clamping force than traditional quick releases. This is great when riding disc brakes up front. Because the twisting force is better. It also makes it easier to remove your bike from the wheels. Oversized shaft provides high strength , lightweight 7075 aluminum, as well as the lever arm. Do you want to remove it? Turn the lever counterclockwise to loosen it. DT Swiss RWS Thru Bolt with Aluminum Lever fits three hub configurations - front 9x100mm, rear 10x135mm, rear 12x142mm (Sinters X-12 type).
