Hello all
I have a new DT Swiss ERC 1400 wheel set. I rode with them 600 km.
As I tighten the axle, the front wheel becomes increasingly reluctant to spin.
I rode with them 600km.
I don't understand, are these wheels like this?
it's been like this since the beginning. the rear wheel spins nicely.
I took it to the dt swiss brand service, but they settled it by saying that this is how you have to like it, and that there is nothing wrong with wheel.
please check the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VKJ621q0ZU

Are you hearing any brake disc rubbing noise? I maxed the volume but the clip does not help me.
Did you put any kilometers on the wheels or are brand new out of the box and you noticed the behavior? Maybe they need some time to settle.
I need to work on my bike today and I shall let you know if I see the same behavior,

It's hard to see exactly what is going on with the brake pads, but to rule out any possible influence from the brakes repeat the test you did in the video but this time do it without the brake pads installed. Does the result change? Note, be sure not to pull on the brake levers without the pads inserted.

Are the end caps definitely the right ones and installed properly?
Agreed, this is where I would look next. Remove end caps, clean and reinstall and see if same result.CampagYOLO wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2024 1:41 pmAre the end caps definitely the right ones and installed properly?

Another guess: are the bearings seated all the way in? Maybe they are not pressed far enough and they seize because of this. Just a wild guess...

that's all I could achieve. Even if I increase the preload, the situation does not improve.

Is 8 Nm enough for the thru axle?
