{"product_id":"pilo-s02-lock-nut-for-dt-swiss","title":"Lock Nut for DT Swiss\/Sram\/Shimano 1.5P","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo S02 Lock Nut for DT Swiss hubs is a small but critical component that keeps your wheel build tight and reliable. Designed specifically to mate with DT Swiss hub bodies, this precision-machined lock nut is the kind of part that separates a wheel that stays true from one that gradually works loose on rough Indian tarmac and broken service roads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndia's roads demand more from every component — from the relentless vibration of Pune's urban pothole belts to the repeated braking descents on Lonavala and Khandala ghats. The Pilo S02 Lock Nut is machined to tight tolerances so it seats correctly on DT Swiss axle ends without creep. For riders who build or service their own wheels, having the correct replacement lock nut on hand means zero downtime when a thread strips mid-season. A sensible, affordable spare to keep in any serious home workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLock nuts are hub-specific, not body-size dependent, so there is no European-to-Indian sizing conversion required here. What matters is confirming your DT Swiss hub model before ordering. If you are unsure which hub generation you own, check the axle end cap markings or DT Swiss's own hub compatibility guide. One unit is supplied per order; most wheel builders purchase two for a complete axle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned specifically for DT Swiss hub systems — confirm your exact hub model for correct fitment. Not a universal lock nut; do not use on non-DT Swiss hubs. Clean the axle threads before installation and apply a small amount of assembly paste to prevent galling. Torque to the manufacturer's specification using a lock-nut spanner. Inspect periodically, especially after monsoon riding when water ingress can accelerate thread wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete your wheel servicing kit with DT Swiss-compatible end caps and axle spacers, a quality freehub body, a precision spoke tension meter, and hub bearing service tools. Stocking a spare derailleur hanger alongside consumables like this lock nut ensures your drivetrain is always one quick fix away from full operation.\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 S02 Lock Nut best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe Pilo S02 Lock Nut is a replacement or spare axle lock nut designed specifically for DT Swiss hub systems.
