The current DT Swiss wheels are tubeless-ready and come with mounted tubeless rim tape and corresponding valves. For conversion, you will need a tubeless-capable tire (optimal: UST) and tire sealant. You can find both at an official dealer. Our How To video will take you through step-by-step assembly.
If you have previously ridden your bike with a tube or if the tape no longer sticks properly to the rim, we recommend that you replace the rim tape as a precaution.
How to attach the tubeless rim tape:
1. Measure the inside width of the rim.
2. The tubeless rim tape should be approx. 2 mm wider than the rim and can be bought from a specialist store.
3. Apply the tubeless rim tape. Depending on the rim/tire combination, it may be helpful to apply two or three layers of tubeless rim tape to optimally seal the rim bed.

At temperatures of 200 degrees, carbon will start to wave and lose its stability.
The exhaust gases from a car can be up to 500 degrees Celsius. When transporting your carbon wheel with a rear carrier, make sure that there is sufficient distance to avoid such defects!
Contact the manufacturer of your rear carrier for a protective device.
If you discover this deformation on your wheel, contact our Service Centre.

«Reliability is paramount when tackling the rough terrain of an ultra distance event like Granguanche Gravel Audax. But the GRC 1400 will also provide the highest performance when it is time to put the hammer down and fight for the final position. No compromise has to be made.»

«At first I was not sure if I really needed carbon wheels on my gravel bike. But when I rode with the gravel wheels for he first time, it was immediately clear to me that I needed some. The wide rim makes them perfect for wider Gravel tires. I prefer to ride them tubeless and can reduce tire pressure without sacrificing comfort. The 42 mm rim height makes the GRC 1400 a real eye-catcher, but still really lightweight.»

«I was lucky to ride the GRC 1400 SPLINE 42 in Colombia. Also on gravel roads in Italy, France and Germany. Whether I had to cross really thick stones or fine gravel, I always had comfort and control. And because the wheelset is 42 mm high, I can even get through sand or high mud quickly and safely. As soon as I am on the road, I have the desired stiffness again. I have really tested the wheels in the most extreme conditions and I am super happy with how safely the wheels have gotten me through the very worst.»

«I've been riding and racing on DT Swiss for the better part of 10+ years. Reliablity, serviceability, quality and cutting edge Swiss engineering always have me rolling with confidence, regardless if its a 1 hour workout or a 350 mile self-supported gravel race.»

«The perfect companion on our bike adventures, whether bikepacking with changing terrain or fast descents on the root trail! Robust and low maintenance! A visual upgrade for every bike. The wide rim gives the tire grip on any surface. Even when it gets faster, you don’t have to compromise on aerodynamics! Tubeless is also safe for (almost) every puncture. Cool parts!»

"Considering the DT Swiss GRC 1400 wheels’ general build quality, performance attributes and finishing touches as a whole, ultimately I would say they are an unusually versatile proposition that still perfectly suit a gravel bike’s do-anything remit."

Our GRC 1400 SPLINE wheels being assembled here with a very unique design.
@besignss was one of the 79 artists who took part in the #ReadyToPaint challenge.
As the winner, his designs were brought to life on a unique, custom @opencycle bike, of course with matching @dtswiss wheels.
Taking a designer's vision from the paper/digital world and bringing it into reality was a truly special experience. Thank you to everyone who participated!

@8barbikes exhibited their Mitte V3 at Craft Bike Days. Voted “Bike of the Show” in the Gravel category, the Mitte V3 is a gravel or road racing bike, thanks to flip chips that enable geometry modification.
Combined with GRC 1400 SPLINE wheels or the new ERC 1400 DICUT, it will certainly prove to be efficient on roads and trails.

The @opencycle U.P. frame features a matte black finish with a special design on the fork, chain stays and seat tube. This design is carried through on a set of GRC 1400 SPLINE 42 wheels and a one-off design incorporated into the rear derailleur, crank arms and levers, custom created by @sramroad.
With this collaboration, a one-of-a-kind #gravelbike has been created and one person will get to take it home. Please support our fundraising campaign for @worldbicyclerelief!
