Any DT Swiss Experts out there?

My rear wheel is DT Swiss HX 1700 with the XD ratchet freehub. Yesterday I decided to remove the cassette and service the freehub but could not get the end cap to budge. It did eventually give way but broke in the process...............the thin flange at the end sheared off.
So I need a new end cap but I am finding the DT Swiss component information anything but clear!!
Can anyone advise what I need to buy and from where? ( UK).

Your wheel has a DT 350 hub so this would fit and you'd have a spare freehub: DT Swiss Ratchet Hybrid Freehub Body For Sram XD | Merlin Cycles

They don't have the end cap only but other shops might.

Mikerb I feel your pain I just went through the exact same issues...


Without further ado....your welcome

Thanks both. I ordered the xd freehub with end cap by Merlin Cycles. I had spotted that before and with the discounted Merlin price it works out the same price as the pair of near and driveside end caps...and I only need the drive side.

If it helps anyone else I did use the DTSwiss website.....support section.....product support. That said I needed RW Adaptor Kit 142/012mm SRAM XD which is part number HWGXXX00S3188S.
DT Swiss assume you know their product range and their abbreviations!! Note as well the part is referenced 142 whereas of course our rear hubs are 148/boost. I found a comment elsewhere that end caps for 142 and 148 are the same.

Just to confirm....I received the Hybrid xd freehub together with the end cap today. This was the end cap package.
