My Turbo Levo (base) driver spins in both directions. The shop said it must have broken (hasn't looked inside yet and can't for two weeks). They think I should go XD, I read here that's not as strong as the base SRAM NX with Shimano-style hub.
I'm gonna do it myself or another shop.

What's the strongest Shimano-style driver replacement?

I would replace rear hub with this - DT Swiss 240 eMTB rear hub 32h: H240TDDSR32SA4182S

<EDIT>
Hold up - it appears Levo rear hub is 28h - not 32h (yet SL is 32h?!?!).
Would need a new rim as well (HX531 or FR560)...

Thanks - Update: LBS says it was actually the hub, not the driver, that stripped. They seemed surprised and said this should be a warranty item. THey need to replace the hub and rebuild the wheel. The driver may be ok. Oy. I may ask to upgrade the hub if possible.
