I am thinking about buying these wheels which come with a son dynamo hub. My questions would be, if the free hub will fit my 12 speed SRAM GX cassette. The seller says it’s 135mm and 34,9mm.
Hope you guys can help me out!

I believe you’ll need to swap to an xd free hub, which should be an easy swap. Find one from the manufacturer of the wheel hub.
NX and SX cassette, yes. GX, X01, XX1 and Transmission, no.
That’s a beautiful, classic hub, Hope Ti Glide, but you won’t get a correct freehub body for it. New cassette will be needed if you go for it.
This will fit the lower SX and NX HG spline cassettes but an XD driver is not available. It’s a Hope Ti-Glide from last century. Beautiful, but I bet £5 that if you get a magnifying glass out you will find at least one crack in the aluminium
Hope make XD drivers for many of their hubs, including older models. The issue is fitting a 12 speed system onto a 135mm width hub and achieving proper chain line without re-dishing the wheel.
