Well, not expert, but you may have experience

I need to convert my DS412SB to XDR and came across this:

https://www.tradeinn.com/bikeinn/en/nov ... 37642257/p

Specifications:

- Affix: SR 11
- Suitable for cassette: 11/12-speed (Road + MTB) Sram (XDR Drive) (no original Sram part)
- Material: steel
- Details cassette body: 4 pawls

The only review Google translated:

Excellent products and service. Install it without any problem. This XDR freehub is 100% compatible with Prime Wheels and any Novatec F482SB hub. Thank you Tradeinn for excellent service.




BikeInn has notoriously poor descriptions and are very slow to answer inquiries

I think it should be ok correct?

Wiggle sell this one and I use it on my F482SB hubs. Problem is Novatec have 2 main type of hubs and yours may be the wrong type; however, according to this page, your DS412SB take same hub as my F482SB (which is the same as Prime Black Edition hub) so I think you'll be fine. No probs with delivery or returns with Wiggle should it not work.

What are the 2 main hub types?

Im in Canada and unfortunately shipping it may be impossible due to cost. I may as well sell it locally

Type A and B2. Look here https://thecycleclinic.co.uk/collections/freehub-bodies for some info. Given that my hub and yours are listed as B2 compatible, the Wiggle XDR hub should be fine for you since it works for me.
