Nothing else really. I ride my MTB as a SS so I thought I would do the POE upgrade when I did the initial install. It is super easy just take it easy on the special DT Swiss grease provided, just a light coat nothing more.

For comparison I have used for MTB hubs:

Industry Nine
White Industries
Hope

And so far I would say the I9 was the best of them but the DT Swiss is far and away second best but first on the list for ease of servicing, it takes almost no tools to service the hub.
