My google search tells me there is no XD driver for a Shimano hub... but in case I missed something.... is there an XD driver that can be installed on a Shimano XT hub?
 
Could one convert a DT Swiss 350 hub currently set up for HG/Shimano CS-8000 11-42 casette to work with SRAM AXS compatible cassette? If so, how?
 
Sort of on topic..

I trashed my cassette which is NX (I'm a peasant) so thought I'd just buy and replace. Well, new one has arrived and there's a ton of play which I'm guessing is from the gnarled Shimano driver. Hub is DT 360.

New plan... replace the driver to an XD and upgrade the cassette.

New problem... I can't get the the current driver off, end cap came off but driver isn't budging.

Thoughts? Hammer? Fire?

Thanks. I did see this on YT but hadn't tried it yet.

OK..just tried and no luck. Is the axle seized to the FH?

It's possible, but unlikely.

DT suggests you thread a lockring in 2-3 turns (a 12 tooth lockring is perfect for this), clamp that into a vise, then place several sharp smacks from below on the spokes where they cross near the hub, until it pops off.
 
Thanks Guys. I put a little WD-40 on it last night and the vise did the trick.

Now where is UPS??
