Prime Wheels Shimano To SRAM XDR Freehub Swap

[@markfisher4574]

Thank you so much for this video. I have the ICAN Aero 40 wheelset and there was no info on how to change the freehub body. Apparently, Prime and ICAN use the same hubs for their wheels. Your video was super easy to follow and very much appreciated. I've used a lot of your videos as a reference when I work on my bikes. Cheers to you brother!

[@Snicker60515]

Great video! Now I have an excellent idea of how to swap out this part, and service the stock wheels on my bike. Thanks and cheers!

[@jeffoliver4038]

Great tip with the rubber seal! 💯 Love it!

[@bobdidge]

Hi there, are you able to advise specifically which free hub this is. I have a set of baroudeur wheels and struggling to find appropriate free hub Thanks

[@carloujosephtorres2647]

I tried to upgrade my SRAM cassette from 11-50T to 10-52T. This upgrade requires the Shimano Freehub to be replaced with the XD freehub so i ordered the cassette and the XD freehub. Unfortunatly, when the parts arrived, I found out that the XD freehub is not compatible with the outer axel because the Shimano axel is tapered. When I put the XD Freehub, it wobbles. Do you know the part number of the outer axel compatble with the XD Freehub? Thanks for your help. I can provide drawings if needed. My Bike has a NEWMEN Basic, 12mm, Boost, Centerlock hub.

What brand sram freehub is that? Im looking for that exact one that is on my bike, but i dont want to take my cassette apart again. I want an identical one gor my smart trainer and replacement if my bike needs one ever

[@melo-tc6im]

Thanks Mate, very helpful video. But do you know if there is any XDR freehub on the market that is compatible with Prime Black Edition wheels (RD010/020 bearing)? The prime branded freehub is no where to be found and I really wanted to use my old wheels for a new bike. Many thanks if you could help me out!

[@FreeToCycle]

Novatec B2 cassette body for XDR 12 speed.

[@melo-tc6im]

thank you!@@FreeToCycle

[@griciao]

@@FreeToCycle so this means, that prime hub end (where freehub body meets) is the same as novatec b2? for example, if i buy novatec b2 xdr 12 speed freehub body - it will fit prime orra wheels with prime hub??? help me to understand, cuz like other said, there is no info online about these prime hubs, and i'm scraching my head around figuring out what freehub body do i need for these wheels.

[@FreeToCycle]

Not not the same on Orra wheels! They use a different hub with j bend spokes, Not a Novatec one.

[@griciao]

@@FreeToCycle any idea, what's the model of xdr freehub body on orra? wrote a letter to prime asking for information, but haven't got one yet

[@antoniosanto2617]

Ciao mate, if I want to swap free hub of my Elite trainer (indoor trainer) does procedure is the same? Any advice?

[@armandoariza8488]

Can you do the same procedure for HUNT wheels?

[@FreeToCycle]

Yes!

[@aulsya]

Can Bontrager aeolus comp5 with shimano freehub can be used for xdr body?

[@TheBikeChallenge]

Free To Cycle any idea how to allow freewheel? I'm trying to do this and even removing the rubber seal it doesn't turn. It's not even tight it doesn't freewheel at all

[@dannb0dge]

I've got the same issue. It looks like it's missing a part for me (the small spacer that goes inside the freehub). Looking at the video both of the ones have the spacer but mine doesn't

[@TheBikeChallenge]

@@dannb0dge I went to a bike shop in Italy and using the XD spacer plus a small round spacer 1mm it works

[@TheBikeChallenge]

@@dannb0dge UK bike shops are a bunch of fools (I've tried 10 of them fuck sake, ridiculous)

[@jimmyl.bakerjr.7026]

Great video!! Do you have any idea where I can find this HD kit??? I have been looking and I can't seem to locate anyone who has this kit.

[@zizou45]

What s grease brand you use thank you

[@krmixmb4676]

Hello! I need help. I have a shimano micro spline and I wanted to run a sram transmit but. Just found out that my driver is different I know I need an xd sram. But I thought I just an easy swap. When I went to the bike shop. The guys told me no one will for or no xd driven has made yet to this set up. I have a shimano hubs. So he gave me an option to change my hubs. So I can run the xd drive drive. Cus he told no other convention yet made to this set up. I thought this modern bike now not as complicated before. So is there any driver that can convert it to from micro spline to xd? Please help

[@kemkeeem5425]

You need to know what the model of your hub is, then check for the tech parts so you will know what the code of the freebhub you need is. When you got the code, you can now check the online stores

[@DublinDapper]

Can this be done on Mavic wheelset?...Shimano 11-speed to Sram 12-speed...do you need new freehub for front wheel. Both bikes would be disc and through axle. 2nd question then can you go from Sram 12-speed to Shimano 11 speed..

[@SonnyDarvish]

Ahh this video seems to be the right place to ask. Can I use a DT Swiss XDR freehub on my Prime Orra or do I need to buy Prime-specific freehub?

[@FreeToCycle]

You will need the Prime freehub body!

[@michaeldevins4821]

Hi Great video again thanks for sharing. A friend of mine wants to swap his the other way he wants to put an 11 speed shimano free hub on a set of vision metron sl 55 tlr wheels. Could you tell me what size free hub he would need please ?

[@FreeToCycle]

You can search for Vision Metron SL freehub body online! They are available to fit the Shimano cassette.

Bravo merci

Where are the bearings?

[@joesantos7196]

Nice video. I am gonna do this once I get my new bike with sramgroupset. Gonna transfer my wheels to that bike. My question is, do I have to do anything with the front wheel hub?

[@FreeToCycle]

No! Not if swapping to a similar style frame.

@@FreeToCycle Perhaps you can clarify good video I have one bike gravel Shimano and one road bike sram is this the same method I would use to swap out my cassettes change my free hubs that way I can use my carbon wheels on either bike

[@FreeToCycle]

Yes you can swap the freehubs between the wheels!

[@MrTheSkiper]

Great I didnt know that is possibe . I will sell my GRX 2by and buy Sram Force or Rival 1by.

[@ehhowie]

did a Shimano to Shimano swap and had the same issue with the rubber washer. removed it and it was fine. why would Prime make a wheel like this with a surplus washer? anyone?

[@mogwai888]

Its for additonal dust sealing but poorly designed i guess. Lots of people were complaining about bearings wearing out so perhaps this was their solution.

[@Angrydad2021]

Can you do it with Fulcrum wheels?

[@FreeToCycle]

Yes!

[@narni9635]

Can I do the opposite from XDR to Shimano 10 speed?

[@FreeToCycle]

Yes!

[@narni9635]

@@FreeToCycle does it depend on the freehub ? Because my friend has a pair wheelset of giant TCR advance with XDR hub ..but i want to buy it ..my bike was installed with Tiagra 10 sp..

[@FreeToCycle]

You can fit a spacer behind the cassette to enable you to use the 10 speed cassette on a 11 speed Shimano freehub body!

[@glennoc8585]

I did the opposite haha. Xdr freehubs are lighter but the cassette prices are pricey at the moment ☹️

[@michaeldevins4821]

Hi Glenn I just read your comment what size shimano freehub did you use do you have the number of the freehub by any chance?
