{"product_id":"pilo-s01-lock-nut-for-dt-swiss","title":"Lock Nut for DT Swiss\/Sram\/Shimano 1.0P","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo S01 Lock Nut for DT Swiss is a precision-machined replacement component designed to secure your freehub or axle assembly on DT Swiss wheel systems. If you ride the Western Ghats, grind through Pune's rough tarmac, or commute through Chennai's potholed roads, keeping your wheel hardware tight and correctly torqued is non-negotiable for safe, consistent performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndian roads demand that every small component earns its place. The Pilo S01 Lock Nut is the kind of part you never think about until it fails — and when it does, your ride is over. Pilo's precision manufacturing means the fit is exact for DT Swiss hubs, which is especially important in India's variable conditions: monsoon grit, laterite dust on Coorg climbs, and the general punishment of city riding all accelerate wear on axle hardware. At Rs. 1,934, replacing this before it becomes a problem is smart economics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis lock nut is a hub-specific component rather than a size-by-rider-dimension part. Confirm your exact DT Swiss hub model before ordering — DT Swiss produces multiple hub generations and axle standards. If you are unsure, check the hub shell for model markings or contact us at Cobbled Climbs with your wheel details. No heat or body-size considerations apply here, but correct specification matching is essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo S01 Lock Nut is engineered specifically for DT Swiss hub systems. It is not a universal fit across all hub brands. Verify your DT Swiss hub model and axle standard before purchase. Use a calibrated torque wrench during installation to avoid over-tightening, which can damage the hub shell or axle threads. Keep threads clean and lightly greased to prevent corrosion, particularly important after monsoon riding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eConsider pairing this with a DT Swiss-compatible derailleur hanger for complete drivetrain protection, a quality chain lubricant suited to Indian monsoon or dry conditions, a multi-tool or workshop torque wrench for correct installation, and spoke nipples or rim tape if you are servicing your wheels more broadly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pilo\"\u003eExplore the full Pilo collection at Cobbled Climbs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy from Cobbled Climbs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% genuine — authorised Pilo retailer in India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree delivery on orders above Rs. 2,500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCash on delivery available nationwide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7-day easy returns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipped from Mumbai\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpert advice — our team rides this gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e.cc-faq{margin:32px 0 24px}.cc-faq__item{border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;margin:0}.cc-faq__item:last-of-type{border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5}.cc-faq__q{cursor:pointer;list-style:none;padding:24px 0;display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;gap:24px;outline:none}.cc-faq__q::-webkit-details-marker{display:none}.cc-faq__q:focus-visible{outline:2px solid #000;outline-offset:-2px}.cc-faq__q::after{content:\"\";width:14px;height:14px;flex-shrink:0;background-image:url('data:image\/svg+xml;utf8,\u003csvg viewBox=\\\"0 0 14 14\\\" xmlns=\\\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\\\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\\\"M2 5l5 5 5-5\\\" stroke=\\\"%23000\\\" stroke-width=\\\"1.5\\\" fill=\\\"none\\\"\/\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e');background-repeat:no-repeat;background-position:center;transition:transform .2s ease}.cc-faq__item[open] .cc-faq__q::after{transform:rotate(180deg)}.cc-faq__a{padding:0 0 28px;margin:0}\u003c\/style\u003e\u003csection class=\"cc-faq\" aria-label=\"Frequently Asked Questions\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eWhat is the Pilo S01 Lock Nut best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe Pilo S01 Lock Nut is a replacement axle or freehub securing component for DT Swiss wheel systems.
