Road cassette on a XD freehub?
Anyone know if it is possible to put a road cassette on an XD free hub? So far my search say no.
I also cannot seem to find a cassette like 10-36 that exists? I am looking for an 11 speed version.
I am trying to make my gravel bike a little more road worthy and it is unfortunately set up 1x
Thank you

No, the road version is XDR and is a bit longer. However, have you looked to see if you can change the freehub on it? Once that was a rarity but now that manufacturers are having to make wheels compatible with HG, XD, XDR and goodness knows what else I imagine you may find that it's possible. On my Mavic Ksyrium wheels that was a relatively cheap option - about £35 (GB) from memory.

Sorry, I was out of town. Yeah I have thought about swapping the freehub. It is DT 350 so it is pretty easy and readily available.
