Hi,

I've been trying to work out what freehub to replace my own. I have a SRAM NX 12 speed 11-50t cassette.

I'm reliably informed I need a Shimano HG freehub but when I search this in Google I get a load of options that are not HG!!

I found this on Amazon
Shimano Freehub Body Replacement F/BODY FH3500 Sora,Black Amazon.co.uk
It says for Sora, is that wrong?

The XD driver cost me $65NZD which is about $40USD. Not sure what US shop labour rates are for pressing bearings in and out. It's a shame, they normally last a long time but I'd treat it as disposable rather than trying to replace the bearings.

I'd got for it, honestly, but then I need to buy a matching cassette and most likely a new wheel build at the same time because there is no working out what interface my unlisted wheel has...

I'm about to pull the trigger on a new fs bike so it's not the right time to upgrade, annoyingly the new bike I'm getting also has unlisted wheels! Maybe even the same one.
