SRAM NX upgrade - Bear Pawls freehub upgrade to XD driver Specialized Stumpjumper Evo Comp Alloy

Dizi Does Downhill Productions present a video of how to upgrade the freehub and cassette on Stumpjumper bikes with Bear Pawls HG free hub bodies and SRAM NX cassettes to an XD driver and GX / X01 & XX1 cassettes
Thanks for watching!

I rarely comment but this video is clear and to the point and made it so easy! Thanks!!

With this hub you have the option to change to 72 point 6 pawl engagement. I'm pretty sure it's a similar price too. Bearpawls is a Taiwanese company that makes the hubs for Specialized. You can change to 3 pawls 36 point, 4 pawls 36 point, 6 pawls 72point, or I beleive you can also change to a ratchet system similar to DT Swiss but I'm not sure how you would remove the ratchet ring, and I'm not sure if the parts are interchangeable with DT Swiss. I'm not 100% sure but I think the rims are Alexrims. I had a Kenevo ebike with Roval rims and they were terrible for dings. So far these wheels seem more solid.

Thanks a ton for that great video. It’s such a rare thing with the specialized rim.

Glad it helped! And thanks for the feedback.

I'm a bit perplexed. I have the same bike. However I feel like the end cap isn't long enough. Any chance you can measure how far it protrudes from the cassette. I've installed exactly the same parts, Bear Pawls XD driver, XX1 cassette.

great video

[@dizidoesdownhill]

Many thanks Bryce - and thanks for checking out the video!

[@guslescano8568]

Great vid. I have the same bike, any future updates please post. 🙏

[@dizidoesdownhill]

Thanks! Will do! It’s a great bike!

Hi!
Do you if the S202100002 (microspline freehub) fits the same way you did?
I’m trying to figure out how to change from hg to microspline.

[@dizidoesdownhill]

Hi Thiago. I do not know if that’s the case. I would contact support at Specialized - they’re very helpful. Thanks for checking out the video.

[@gondolarides5178]

Does this driver help with the abysmal engagement on the stock hub?

[@dizidoesdownhill]

Pretty sure it has exactly the same number of points of engagement as it has the same number of pawls. I’ll check and comment back here if it’s not the same. Thanks for checking out the video.

What year is this Stumpjumper Evo? I have a buddy who has a 2022 SJ Evo and needs a Free Hub body to install a GX cassette. Is this what he needs?

[@dizidoesdownhill]

The bike is a 2022 SJ Evo Comp Alloy which has an NX cassette as stock and a Bear Pawls hub. If he’s uncertain, send Specialized Support a note. They’re pretty helpful.

Will this work on a alloy stumpjumper 2022? Thanks

[@dizidoesdownhill]

I’m pretty sure it will. If you send Specialized a note, they’re very good at responding to technical questions. Thanks for checking out the video.

[@Carlisle_NinetyOh9]

Will this work on my Rockhopper Comp?
It's Quick Release by the way, with Stout wheels

[@dizidoesdownhill]

Sorry. I dont have any info on that bike. The support at Specialized is your best bet. They’re very responsive. Good luck.
