Hey there, my 2021 enduro expert has this hub: Roval DT Swiss 360, 3-pawl design, SRAM XD. Do you know which parts and tool kit is required?

[@dizidoesdownhill]

Thanks for checking out the video. You’ll need a LN free hub body upgrade kit and a couple of specific tools. Here’s a link to the info: help.worldwidecyclery.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500000279882-DT-Swiss-Freehubs-with-Ratchet-or-Pawls#:~:text=If%20you%20have%20a%20DT,use%20a%20completely%20different%20design.&text=DT%20Swiss%20has%20released%20a,LN%20Freehub%20Body%20Upgrade%20Kit. Be sure to ask the guys at Worldwide Cyclery about your specific hub. They’re very helpful.

Nice video. Where did you get the kit from?

[@dizidoesdownhill]

Thanks Jonathan! I got the kit from Worldwide Cyclery. I’m a fan of the company. Thanks for checking out the video!

Cool!! And how did Dex like it??

[@dizidoesdownhill]

He’s got a few years until he’s as nerdy as his dad!

What did you say the ’22 comp alloy has?

[@dizidoesdownhill]

The Evo Comp Alloy has a Bear Pawls hub with an HG driver. It has 36 PoE as far as I know. When the cassette wears out we’ll replace the free hub with an XD driver.

[@dizidoesdownhill]

This way you can replace the NX cassette with GX or above.

Reason why you choose the 54t over the 36t?

[@dizidoesdownhill]

Hi, i feel more engagement is beneficial. I’m not overly worried about kickback given my riding style and bike. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

[@Tr_Fast]

I’m wondering if this will work with the status 2022?

[@dizidoesdownhill]

I’m guessing it has similar hubs to the 2022 Evo Comp Alloy which has Bear Pawls hubs, based on the description on Specialized’s website. I would suggest sending Specialized customer service a note. They are pretty helpful.

[@dizidoesdownhill]

I confirmed with Specialized that the Status 2022 has a hub with pawls not star ratchets.

Why bother, tho?
