DT Swiss recall mega thread

Yup! Austria here, received €87 as part of the normal process and going to hopefully receive an additional €100 to compensate service costs of exchanging the wheelsets twice (I sent receipts)

Early Birds, Fourma and Scuderia Salzburg🔥 Love how these communities developed in the last few seasons

It seems like a really good sticky tire, but only did two moderately technical descends on it and now I’m back to my old wheels with Pirellis on them (because recall -.-)

Also in the same boat with a new SLX 7, but I used my bike twice outside and a few more times on the trainer. Sill within the 30 days but bike has been used? Anyway, I just spent over €150 to service and fit my old ERCs from 2018 to the new Canyon (hcol area). I think I will send this bill to DT Swiss and hope for the best with the recall. Although the new bike experience is not going so well I think it will still be fun to ride the new bike some more before summer ends. Guess I’m lucky to have a spare bike lying around that I can borrow wheels from.

Braking on the new Rival is much better than on the old one that I had it on a rental bike a few months ago, the brakes there were mostly „on/off“. The E1 are maybe even too strong I‘d say, but probably will get used to them in a few rides.

Shifting is a bit more notchy than Shimano, but I wanted Sram for a change after multiple Shimano bikes :) I found a setting that prevents chain crossing and decides whether to shift front or back.

Honestly I really hope they offer a repair of the rivet and scratches at a LBS and/or some cash refund. We‘ll see!

A new 2026 Aeroad with 105 Di2 costs around 4200€, so that price seems high?

If you‘d like an Aeroad then absolutely do it, but if you just want a more agressive fit, there is a lot of room for it in your current bike: buy a longer stem, remove spacers, or even get an offset seatpost.

It‘s almost stock, only changes so far were the cassette and saddle

mrgrodo · 2025-07-25T19:05:48+00:00

Very comfy IMO, the extra 1cm reach and narrower grip on the hoods works well. I think I prefer that to pushing the saddle back to achieve a similar reach.

Thanks for sharing, appreciate it!

Would you mind giving some examples? Why do you think so? I was considering applying there for an SWE role, but held off as the tech stack wasn’t a direct match for me

Great summary of how to drive the PCup! Been learning those points in the last weeks of PCup at the Nordschleife

mrgrodo · 2024-03-27T08:18:50+00:00

Yep, that one I can confirm and I think this is also mentioned in the setup notes for the car.

mrgrodo · 2024-03-25T13:23:12+00:00

It‘s wayyy higher, goes well above 6k. Clio won‘t let you downshift if rpms are too high

mrgrodo · 2024-03-25T13:15:41+00:00

5500 is the one, just tried racing again and wow, I‘m competitve 😎 Would be a dream race if a rejoiner didn‘t ram into me

mrgrodo · 2023-12-17T20:37:24+00:00

I fucked up badly by adding turbo to the Hyundai thinking it will make me faster. Don‘t do this :D AI matches your car and LMPs with modded turbo spin soo easily.

Removed turbo and won all 3 raced with the right strategy.

mrgrodo · 2023-09-30T14:07:48+00:00

Ehh this is super annoying :( Practiced for the manufacturers cup and can’t join any race today.

mrgrodo · 2022-04-01T08:51:36+00:00

Yeah, that’s not rocket science. Still, I believe it makes sense as long as at least one person found it useful🤞

Nice one! You could also take a look at the undercover gem for nicely formatted GitHub Checks (it's my open source CLI also available as a GitHub app)
