Other Hub confusion

[Howz]

i know nothing about hubs……

looking to mullet my 2nd Gen levo I purchased a cheap set of wheels, this is the hub which i don’t think is the same as the one on my 2019 Levo? I was thinking that I’ll just swap the cassette for now which is a SRAM PG1130 11 speed…I’m sure it’s different though? The new wheels came off a 2022 levo …. What cassette will I need to buy? thanks..

If you get half way down this, it shows you the difference between them.

What is a freehub, how does it work and what are the different types?

You'll be able to identify which freehub you have. 2 options... buy the right cassette for your freehub OR swap the freehub.

Thanks for that, just popped into my local concept store with the wheel and they are going to source the correct shimano free hub so I can swap

The link that @p3eps provided is a good read in its entirety.

A LBS can definitely help but your specific wants and needs may point them towards something more favourable to your type of riding. I destroyed my original hub and replaced that with another manufacturer.

Now that my riding has evolved, my needs have changed again. There are some really good hubs out there with some healthy prices. Service, serviceability and performance are important to me now. If I purchase the i9 Hydra Berd spoke compatible silent hub…it’s gonna cost .
