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

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.
