I would like to update my rear hub ratchet system on my Giant TRX 1 rear wheel.
Stock hub is the DT Swiss 360. Timing sucks for this since we are living in Covid times, but was
wondering if anyone has the proper tools I can rent out from them to get this accomplished.
Rebuilding the wheels is almost too expensive and at that point, I'm better off getting a 2nd wheelset.
Not sure if this is even going to make sense, but let's test the waters and see what makes sense/
is doable/or I will just look for another wheelset.

I live in Branchburg near Bridgewater.

thank you

ps: is going from the 3 paws worth aiming for the 54T. ride lots if technical trails with rocks

pss: maybe, after all, getting a better rear hub and the wheel rebuild might be the way to go.
anyone knows anyone that does wheel buildingSmile at a good price

The 370 is upgradable, but there's an issue with the seals when trying to convert a 360.
I have the same wheelset, and if I ever get off my butt about it, I'm going to check the dimensions on 360 vs 350 hubs and see if they're the same. If they are, a shop will build a wheel for around $40, plus the hub.
The tools and parts to upgrade from pawls to a ratchet are nearly the cost of a 350 hub.

Toss the DT Swiss’s in the trash where they belong.

If your not riding industry nine, then your irrelevant.

Best,

Did you ever get anywhere with trying to upgrade that hub? I have a set of 2019 TRX1 carbon wheels and I tried using dt swiss 240 parts to upgrade the wheel and nothing fit, the diameters were off. I thought it was a dt swiss 350 rebranded to Giant, but must be a goofy 360?
