Need compatible Boost 148 Freehub
A bearing has gone bad in sealed bearings of my Bontrager Boost 148 Hub.
What is a better compatible freehub? Will bearings be included with freehub?
I have SRAM Eagle NX 12 speed components.

Is a DT Swiss 350 (28 spoke hole) a good replacement hub for a Bontrager Boost 148 hub?
What freehub is needed for SRAM Eagle NX 12 speed?
Is DT Swiss 350 packaged with a set of bearings?
I have seen several complaints that the Bontrager Boost 148 has issues with either the hub or sealed bearings.
There was one who indicated hub can't take the stress of the torque of 1x or 2x drivetrains.

Technically if your hub is bad, any hub is better
- 350 is a good solid hub
- You will need the SRAM XD driver
- The hub will come with bearings

But, from some reviews I read it looks like SRAM Eagle GX requires XD Driver. Whereas, 12 speed SRAM Eagle NX does not
need XD Driver as it can use a standard SRAM/Shimano 10 speed freehub

Apologies as I misread the NX part. You are correct NX does not require XD driver.

It's all good. Thanks for your input. LBS gave me a spare rear wheel until freehub & bearings come in for Boost 148 hub.
I may still look into getting DT Swiss 350 hub in a few months
