Bub Marley Posted July 12 Posted July 12 I currently have a set of carbon road wheels which have novatec hubs on. It currently has a Shimano HG freehub. I’m looking for some advice on how to convert this to an XD freehub. Are the XD free hubs brand specific or can I just buy any XD freehub and it’ll work?

I guess some brands use matching internals, but best to check with your LBS. Bub Marley 1
droo Posted July 12 Posted July 12 Specific to the exact hub with Novatec, nevermind the brand. What model of hub?

They’re a few years old so most likely not available. Was hoping it would be like a standard size. Edited July 12 by Bub Marley
nick_the_wheelbuilder Posted July 18 Posted July 18 There are very few road xD cassettes on the market - any particular reason to switch to xD other than to use with a cassette you have already? I'll be cheaper and easier to get another cassette that fits the existing freehub.
