Hadley Hub - Converting to SRAM XDR driver
Does anyone know where I can find written instructions to change the driver on a Hadley hub to an XDR driver (not YouTube)?
Ballerracing sells the driver, but I can’t find a support article. I've reached out to them, but no response......
Also, if anyone has done this and knows the secret handshakes, they would be great to know.

They are an odd company but they make some nice hubs. I think the exclusivity helps in their sales but in the end I am glad I haven't gone for them. Quality or not having support is something I look for.

HAHAHAHA, sorry but you cannot really get in touch with Hadley easily, they are not a company that really wants to be contacted they don't have a website and maybe someone knows a phone number but I remember years ago trying to find them and no luck.

If it's nice quality and a bit different maybe it's worth a little inconvenience - perhaps not something for your commuter, but a definite maybe for one of the Sunday bikes. Support and spares aren't easily available for a lot of vintage stuff, but people still choose to use it.

Found this response from one of Hadley's sellers. Hadley Racing Products — Cognoscenti Cycles (cognoscenti-cycles.com)
Hi Chris
Thanks for your enquiry! Please contact me at corey@cognoscenti-cycles.com Hadley don't have a website where these questions can be easily answered. I would have to call them to get info. Conversely if you wanted a quick answer you could call them at 1-909-946-6780.

Because they make really good hubs and that is what they specialize in. If it were a daily driver I would say maybe not Hadley but if you want the top of the top for a bike you ride often but don't rely on for commuting it is a great option.

A tandem with an all up weight of 450+ pounds needs the best in hubs.
