DT Swiss Shimano Freehub Body to SRAM XD Driver Swap

[@TorrentUK]

I've spent two days looking for the answers to what this video showed in 8 minutes. THANK YOU!!!

[@bartjager2901]

Thanks for making all these excellent tutorials on how to maintain your bike... Helped me several times!❤

[@stuarthaggard2971]

Just ordered some upgrades for my bike and this is the best video I found. Simple, explains everything VERY well, and none of the carrying on most of these youtubers put in their videos. Amazing.

[@albaniansk8er]

Awesome job now I know what I need to go if I wanna go from SRAM SX to SRAM X01!!!

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

Excellent video. Straight forward, good camera angle, great explanation.

[@niallmanchester]

Your channel is brilliant mate, love how you explain things slowly and clearly for the mechanically challenged, like me!

[@MTB_FPV]

Thanks for the content, i've saved so much money doing my own work :)

[@Ferrichrome]

Thanks for the explanation. I am upgrading to a microspline freehub so it should be basically the same

@@FreeToCycle wow, you’re great! Thanks

[@thomasfrick6191]

Thanks! Your video was a great help. Showed me exactly what I wanted to know.

[@austinado16]

Outstanding! Thank you very much for making this!

[@user-xq5rp9fm1p]

Awesome, thanks!

[@Doktor_Al]

awesome content, thanks!

[@RLIIJR]

Thank you!

[@TorrentUK]

Thanks

[@Sangggreal]

I appreciate your approach and little things like the plastic spline that can be used as storage for a removed cassette. Question: can you guide us on the Stout XC freehub? It’s super weird.

[@peter1987P]

Can I just use any XD hub on a Shimano freehub? Or is it depending on the wheel?

[@aaronw5938]

Great video, really helpful! Have you had the chance to try swapping Shimano/XDR freehubs on a DT240 EXP hub?

[@Philipstarberg]

Great video - Thanks. If i change to complete SRAM etap Force AXG 12S and brake system, from Shimano Ultegra do i then also have to change the disc brake and is it possible?

[@lbanezjs1000]

why does it seem like every time i have a bike problem, you seem to crop up with the exact solution lol.

[@Big_Theft_Auto]

Do 9 speed road bikes and mountain bikes have the same freehub body?

[@MrChando1975]

Great channel always showing how to do it yourself. Love it. Why to switch to sram? Is it better then shimano freehub?

[@ChristianRennow]

Hello please help me, What is the size of your lock ring or the size where the claws are? My shimano has 30mm, I would need an XD freewheel with 3 claws. Kind regards

[@007kggaming2]

Please someone help me.. I have 28 hole 9 speed HG hub and now I want to use 7 speed 14t - 34t freewheel instead of HG cassette... So how it possible without changing the hub? Or should I change the hub to normal single speed hub ... Is the freewheel compatible with SRAM XD driver... ?

[@batstam]

Thanks a lot for the video. Do you know if the endcaps for microspline hub are also different with the other two (sram xd and shimano hg). Thanks in advance.

[@puchermajster]

Hi. thank you for video. But I have problem with removal Sram freehub. I dont have there any cap. Just axis. But freehub is not possible to remove so easy like you did. Thank you for a advice

[@puchermajster]

I have two wheelsets. One on shimano second on sram and want to exchange it. But I really struggle with that.

[@joesantos7196]

Nice video. But my current rear wheel hub can only accept one side for the spanner (freehub side). The non drive side is round with no way to put a spanner. SO how am i gonna be able to loosen ??? sorry if it sounds confusing.

[@ezequielpena7235]

Bro. look inside the axle tube and see if it looks like you can fit a 12mm allen key, thats whats going to help you keep the axle from spinning and remember the side where fit the spanner wrench it tipically reverse threaded.

[@joesantos7196]

@ezequielpena7235 oh damn. Old post lol. I figured it out bro. Thank u

[@sharky6866]

I have a through axle and a 12 speed freehub body, FH-521, 3 pawls and the end cap screws on to the axle to keep the freehub on, could I swap freehub over to a Shimano micro spline 3 pawls and use the same end cap?

[@reggieringgoldjr68]

I have a question Sir, I'm going from The Shimano HG Driver on a Diamondback MTB to an XD Driver on some DT SWISS 370's and I'm going with an 11S GX Cassette. The problem I'm having is, it's not the same Spacing with the new Wheels because of that end cap on the HG Hub with that Flat Stepped end. How do I combat this if you could give me some advice Please? I don't want to spend more money on going with another DT SWISS HG Ratchet Hub because I've done the 54T kit on the new wheels already and bought the Cassette. Thanks in advance Sir. It's a Single Lipped End Cap.

[@FreeToCycle]

When you fit the sram XD freehub body you have to fit the correct end cap to go with it.

[@reggieringgoldjr68]

@@FreeToCycle No Sir, just what came with The Upgrade.

[@reggieringgoldjr68]

@FreeToCycle I'm sorry, I misunderstood you Sir. It only came with what it had in the Kit. Do you have any recommendations at this point? Thanks for your time and help.

[@OGMageFire]

I Have an Alex Boondocks 142 x 12mm rear hub with hg driver. I want to know if I can change to an xdr driver. If so, what driver will work with my hub..?

[@YakirGabay]

Thanks, do you happen to know if with Campangnolo wheels the process is the same?

[@rustymaximus9179]

Can you size down from 142mm to 135mm so you can run 12 speed SRAM AXS?

[@jason200912]

Are dt swiss ratchet rings interchangeable with the traditional pawl arms hubs?

[@dariusf2]

Any pointers as to what type of greese works best?

[@thomasjousse2427]

Great video as usual! Could you share the reference of your cassette whip? This is brilliant and looks way safer than the "classic" ones.

[@GokkunGuru]

Are all these new wheel hubs designed so that the free hub bodies can be pulled off for easy maintenance and/or swapping?

[@FreeToCycle]

Usually yes!

[@CarlosCarlos-iv6ew]

Can I remove and change to xd driver on the dt swiss 1850 Spline free hub ??trying to put an Xo1 cassette xd compatible only

[@FreeToCycle]

Yes you can swap to the XD freehub body!

[@timsbarbershop3607]

Excuse me. Is the hub sounds any difference after changing the driver from shimano to sram?

[@FreeToCycle]

No the sound stays the same!

[@carlosesguerra1979]

I have some q.... Those old 9 speed HG drivetrain can fitted to SRAM SX eagle 12S ?

[@angelsegnini]

Yes, u justw need the eagle sx or nx cassette

[@nathansdad04]

Just bought a set of DT Swiss R470 new takeoffs and realized that it has SRAM Xd driver. I need 11 speed Shimano. What do I need to buy to convert to Shimano 11-speed?

[@nationsnumber1chump]

just a spacer

[@Intentsrig]

What do you do if prying it off does not work?

[@bencath_1529]

can Install XD driver in any cassette type hub?

[@wesstaff2493]

What type of grease should I use?

[@FreeToCycle]

DT Swiss universal grease or any equivalent spec grease!!

[@TheMyrantony]

What DT freehub is it

[@matheusbikeparts4682]

Sram Xd Single speed is possible?

[@FreeToCycle]

Yes you can buy single speed conversion kits for the XD driver freehub!

[@zvebiNmob1zer666_]

Nice Video for like & follow 💪🏽

[@moonshot1999]

Can you do the same on a ratchet freehub?

[@FreeToCycle]

Yes!

[@moonshot1999]

Free To Cycle thanks! I just took delivery of a DT Swiss wheel from Germany ( DT Swiss EX 1501 Spline One 650B/27.5' MTB wheel Centerlock 30mm rear 12/148mm DT Swiss 240s hub) with.mistaken Shimano cassette driver which was meant to be a SRAM XD driver for the SRAM XX1 Eagle 1295 10/52t cassette! Not sure what parts needed etc!

[@FreeToCycle]

You will need a DT Swiss XD ratchet freehub body for a 12mm axle they will come as a kit with the appropriate end cap!!

[@saj78769]

thanks
