XDR driver for Novatec hubs?
Just ordering a couple of wheelsets with Novatec hubs. Anyone knows if Novatec hubs can be converted to be used with Etap Axs 12 speed?
Specifically this one. F482SB-SL

This page has that info. Between Bitex and Novatec, which would you choose?

What kinda durability are we talkin' about here? I have two sets of Bitex hub fitted wheels, with a total of maybe... 30,000 miles between 'em? Never touched a single bearing.

Your experience is quite different than mine. I was replacing the bearings every 6-8k miles because they were gritty. The tiny little bearings, that allow the hubs to be so lightweight, just didn't last very long.

Wife and I have 4 wheelsets between us with Novatec hubs, and they have been fine for maybe 10K kms or so each. No rain rides though.
