You'd have to put both hubs into a spoke calculator to see if your spoke length will work.

I just switched rear hub from Novatec's 10-speed F482SB-SL to 11-speed F482SB-11 and reused the spokes...the specs are extremely close...but make sure and replace the nipples...

I might be soon in the same situation as you guys so thanks for sharing the info.
Can anyone help... have a Novatec F482SB Shimano hub that currently has a 10 speed cassette on it. I want to switch to 11 speed, but don't know if my freehub is compatible or if I can go down the Campag freehub route for 11 speed?

various sellers- amazon, for instance, has started to offer the F372SB in an 11 speed compatible format. I ahve one on order ( got it cheap). I'll update if it works out.

Specifically the 372sb? Other Novatec hubs have long had 11 spd bodies available, the 372 hasn't...

That may be the case, but this thread is primarily about older Novatec hubs which could not be converted by simply swapping the freehub body due to spacing issues of the hub body.

I've done recently the same on a pair of Gigantex wheels with Novatec hubs and it works perfectly.
