Hi,
How easy is it to change a Shimano 10 speed freehub to a SRAM XD? Is it 'simples' or expensive? A simple case of swapping my SRAM XD with the Shimano Hub or an expensive purchase?
Depends what hub you have to start with. Quick Google of your hub and sram xd will tell you the price of the freehub
Looking to buy Easton Heist wheels second hand. They currently have a Shimano freehub but I run an 11 speed XD. Just need to know if it's easy to change over?
Manual makes it look easy, same as a service

They always do but I don't want to buy then find it's a no go!!!
take a look at the exploded diagram, it's a swappable part. Same as removing the freehub to clean it or change a bearing. There is probably a you tube video if you search for it.
Yes, their is, looks simple. Just wanted to be sure! Cheers
So, the wheels arrived and the SRAM XD freehub does not fit in to the Shimano hub like in the diagram!!! The SRAM XD freehub is much bigger. The Shimano hub is a FH524, printed on it.
My next question is that can I just buy a Shimano 11speed cassette and put it on and will my SRAM XO 11speed derailleur work perfectly with a Shimano hub???
Thanks
Yes you can use a shimano 11 speed mtb cassette and yes its will work with sram shifter/mech
Did you get the Easton xd driver that's Ment to fit your new wheels ?
Freehubs aren't a universal fit. You have to have the correct one for your hub.
Yes, i need this for the hub. Is their a cheaper option that will fit or does it have to be this one for an Easton rear hub?

It has to be the exact one for the hub you have.
Ok, cheers. I take it my SRAM XD 11 speed cassette will fit right on to it with no issues?
All SRAM cassettes designed to fit onto xd freehubs will fit on all xd freehubs.
The Shimano hub is a FH524, printed on it.
AFAIK there is no XD freehub available for Shimano hubs.
Are you sure you have the correct model of Easton wheel?
Has someone replaced the original hub with a Shimano one?
Have Easton changed the type of hub fitted to those wheels?
Cool, cheers!
at this point pics and part numbers of what you have is your best bet (or go talk to a bike shop)
