Coo eee - 3 questions I think... while I wait for my warranty wheel replacement I'd like to plonk shiny new AXS drivetrain on my bike. Yes, impatient, but summer's not hanging around...
1) Can I change shimano freehub to 12spd XD driver on a novatec D462SB-SL-B12?
2) If I can, where can I get one?
3) Longer term, will 12pd sram cassette go onto XD driver that's currently running 11spd? I'll explode with impatience if warranty wheel arrives and the 12spd kit doesn't fit - so best to plan ahead.
Thanks!
1) yes
2) hunt have some novatec freehubs, otherwise aliexpress, ebay any other novatec rebrander
3) yeah xd is the same 11 or 12
AAAH! Good news. Re. 2... the wheel getting sorted is with Hunt so they could just send my freehub back! Splendid. Thanks so much.

Think you need type F and they do steel or alloy versions
Be careful XDR is the road version XD is what you want.
Update... no dice with Hunt 'we can't guarantee your free hub will fit your hub'.... I'll leave them to sit on my wheel for another XX months. And cycle clinic sold out, but I know what I'm sniffing out now. Thanks!
You need this freehub https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mobile/nukeproof-neutron-v1-freehub-body-sram-xd/rp-prod162002
Had two novatech freehubs die in the last twelve months. Looking at replacing but there’s a myriad of options out there and although spares are available, they won’t ship direct to the uk because of brexit. A case of finding for certain the freehub you need as there’s so many options and then searching for uk resellers. I think when I last looked SJP cycles had quite a lot available (but not the body I needed!)
