I have a pair of Roval Terra C wheels that I want to sell but they have an XDR driver that limits the appeal, I see wiggle has DT hub drivers at £14.99  https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/p/dt-swiss-370-ratchet-freehub-body?color=black&sizeStandard=Shimano%2FSram+HG&utm_source=google&utm_term=&utm_campaign=&utm_medium=base&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAqY6tBhAtEiwAHeRopZk1ob0q0ru_SbZWpQi_vvHzX6j5nqKSMXSI0gOpP5w57YwWqfIIyhoC3fwQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds that appear to fit my LN hub, but I can’t tell if they’d take a road HG cassette or just MTB, I know there were subtle fitting details over time.  Anyone know definitively if it’ll work with 11s Road cassettes?  Thanks in advance.

Only MTB. The 11s road ones are slightly longer

Unless your current freehub has ratchet written on it, that won't fit anyway

Says MTB 11 spd, so unlikely. You need the one that says 11s road on it.

I suspected that was the case. It was the detail of the road driver being longer than the Mtb one that I was struggling to remember.

Thanks both.  My hubs are LN ratchet btw, would the linked body work on my hubs with an MTB cassette then?

Yes, that will work fine.

It will fit, but the hub will be narrower by 1.85mm. Some would think that’s fine, others not.

As others have said, it looks like a MTB one.

My G1800 wheels have 370 hubs (3 pawl) but the freehub body is marked for 11 speed road. I needed a spacer to fit a MTB cassette.

I’ll probably leave it in that case unless I see a road variant.  Thanks all.
