Hi,

I bought a set of these wheels(Link #1)and need a replacement freehub body. I read somewhere that DT Swiss 180/240/350 might be compatible as long as its the ratchet version (with exception for EXP version). Can anyone confirm that they work for my wheelset?

Will the freehub body in link #2work? If not, can anyone link a specific XDR freehub body that works?
Thanks in advance

i bought that particular XDR freehub, but it does not seem to be the perfect fit. maybe I'm doing something wrong.

I can't torque the axle to its intended NM, without the wheelset locking up. Pedaling forward works fine, but pedaling backwards does not work.
Only once I loosen the axle, does pedaling backwards work again. But that doesn't feel secure.

maybe someone experienced can help out? much appreciated!

Original DT Swiss star rachets version freehubs are compatible with almost our hubs, except the non-released HS608 rear hub

Hi Peter, do you know whether Zipp ZR1 Freehubs can be installed on your wheels too?
I'm also aiming to swap the Shimano HG hub on my XMCS with the SRAM XDR hub on my Zipp Firecrest 404

Had decided for the Mondince FM126 earlier but the ability to ride a more forward position on this bike made me change my mind.

Happy to have found a bargain used full groupset too: Dura Ace Di2 11sp for 400 EUR.
And aero drop bars with attachable TT clip-ons from a Lapierre Aircode DRS for 200 EUR.
78/65mm wheel combo from XMCS coming up :D

Will update with photos once I've put it together. Thanks for the help deciding!

Did you receive and assemble everything by now? Curious to see how the 65/78 combo looks on the vbr. cheers!

About 200 km now on the bike. It was very windy today but no issues with the wheelset
I also changed the regular Red derailleur against the XPLR.

What a clean setup 😮‍💨 thanks for the feedback, will pull the trigger on the 78s

Now with Peters new 78 mm wheels.

How’s the bike handling in crosswinds? Especially with those 78s?

Speaking of the clamp. I think this may be what is at the heart of the slipping seatpost issues.


On a few instances I've observed that the clamp is compressed and almost stuck together, requiring lots of torque to loosen, yet it's completely free in the frame and not applying pressure to the seat post to the point where it can move up and down freely. So the extra torque I've been applying to hold the seatpost in place seems to mainly be absorbed by the clamp and isn't getting to the point where it's pressing against the post and frame yet. I believe there is a new seatpost and wedge design in the works as well.

Where did you pick up on the news?
I'd love to get a new seatpost, if it doesn't look like a TT seatpost.

76 degrees as far as I could work out :)


Playing around with tool &tube storage options.
The TT style box from AliX for under a tenner seems best option but you have to mod/file/add new fixing strap.
It's only a V1 attempt ;)


Love DIY elements on a bike :D
what did you do to extend the fixing strap? I have the exact same box

Fantastic isn't it, mine has already tripled in value 8)

I wonder how quotations change for companies that buy white labels from Chinese OEMs in larger quantities. Anyone interested in building a bike brand ? 😂

Atom 6 sits in Belgium and sells:

Tantan ttx38
Ican A40
And now also the vbr 368
