Basic know-how in the dealer course

The dealer course equips participants with the tools they need to avoid being left standing around in the workshop with an air chamber service on the shock, a broken spoke or a suspension fork lubrication service. The technical experts from DT Swiss not only equip the participants with the relevant theoretical knowledge, but also deepen their know-how with practical examples. In addition to the course costs of CHF 200, the participating dealer also receives a tool package and a sticker that marks the area in the store as a DT Swiss Service Point.

Introduction to wheel building

In the "1x1 of wheel building" course, participants learn how to build a complete wheel. After the theory, practical examples are used to familiarize participants with the tricks of wheel building, so that by the end of the course they should be able to build a wheel on their own. The course costs CHF 250 and includes the reference book "The Art of Wheel Building" by Basel-based wheel guru Gerd Schraner.

The path to becoming a wheel expert

The "Premium course in wheel building" also teaches participants how to fit a wheel with the correct spoke length, how to correctly spoke, pre-tension and center it. Gerd Schraner's book is also included in this course package. For the course costs of CHF 1000, DT Swiss adds a wheelset, which is built by the participant himself and engraved with his name on the hub. Tools for wheel building are also included. On both wheel courses, the various wheel components are presented and the secrets of a small service on a toothed disk rear hub are revealed.

At all courses, DT Swiss offers an insight into production at its headquarters in Biel. DT Swiss would like to point out that warranty and major service work will continue to be carried out by the official service centers.
