• I'm about to order some wheels from lb, I've gone for Novatec over Bitex hubs, with Campagnolo 9/10/11 speed freehub. @danstuff, I remember you kicking knowledge before, and seeming pretty clued up on the differences between the different hub brands. Do you have any experience of changing the freehub body on the Novatec F482SB-SL, or if it is even possible? I've read online and it seems like it isn't necessarily. I'm pretty sure I'll be running Campagnolo for a good old while yet, but just in case I did fancy a shift to Shimano down the line... any thoughts at all?

  • I haven't changed a freehub on that particular model, but I changed the freehub on a different MTB Novatec hub from 10 speed to 11 speed. Definitely possible, and as I recall it was perfectly straightforward.

  • If your running campag 11 speed and thinking about switching to shimano 11 speed in the future, I wouldn't worry about the freehub. The cassettes are spaced almost identically and you can run any without issue. I have been using an Ultegra 8000 cassette on a campag record setup and it runs perfectly.
