Has anyone upgraded the freehub on older CODA road hubs?

Hi all,
I just bought a sweet CAAD4 r1000. It came with gold anodized wheels with the CODA hubs. I would like to put an 11 speed drivetrain and keep the wheels but I don't believe the freehub will take an 11 speed shimano cassette. Has anyone tried finding a HG11 compatible freehub that will fit on these? I read somewhere online that these hubs were manufactured by DT Swiss so I'm hoping there is a possible solution that someone has tried. Thanks!

I think it's unlikely that they made an 11 speed compatible freehub body for that hub but you might check with DT. I'm guessing that you would need a new rear wheel to change to 11 speed. The 11 speed freehub body spline length is a couple of mms longer on 11 speed hubs. The only workaround that I know of is that some MTB 11 speed cassettes will fit on 9/10 freehubs because the large sprocket is offset towards the center of the hub. But that would be 34 tooth(?) or larger and I don't think you could get a compatible rear derailleur. I would stick with 9 speed.

Thanks for the reply, I figured it may be a lost cause!
