The ORBEA DT Swiss Shim Ring Ø28/20 x 0.5 mm is a small but essential component designed to fine-tune the fit and function of DT Swiss hub systems and related wheel assemblies. Shim rings are used to adjust spacing and preload within the hub, helping mechanics and experienced riders achieve smooth, precise rotation and long-term reliability. By compensating for tiny tolerances in the hub or axle interface, this shim ring can reduce unwanted play, improve bearing alignment, and contribute to a more consistent ride feel.
This ORBEA-branded shim ring is tailored to work with DT Swiss standards, making it a smart choice when servicing compatible wheels or replacing worn or missing hardware. Its specific inner and outer diameters, combined with a slim 0.5 mm thickness, allow for fine adjustment without adding unnecessary bulk or complexity. Ideal for workshop use or meticulous home mechanics, it is a cost-effective way to restore optimal performance to your wheel hub, extend bearing life, and ensure that your wheel system runs as quietly and efficiently as possible.
