SRAM 11sp 6 bolt disc hubs??

Spangle12

I have a set of fulcrum sport DB wheels with a sram rival 11sp cassette and disc brakes.

The freehub is starting to generate annoying creaks and clicks and it turns out the hubs in the fulcrum wheels are near impossible to get spares for. For the time being i've stripped it all down as much as possible and cleaned it up giving me a little more life out of it but the bearings need replacing as will the freehub eventually. The bearings are replaceable but only cost effective to do so if i've got a blind hole bearing puller and the right size press, which I have neither of. The whole wheelset is only £95 (possibly black friday/cyber monday deal) on planet x website.

So assuming I just keep running the hub until it's completely knackered what options do i have for buying a new hub or new wheel, bearing in mind the compatibility with sram 11 speed cassettes and 6 bolt disc rotors. From my very brief shopping around there doesn't seam to be many options. 6 bolt combined with 11sp seams to be the deal breaking criteria.

Is shimano 11sp compatible with sram 11sp?
Is any old 160mm centre lock disc compatible with SRAM rival hydraulic calipers.

I know I could buy the same wheelset again but that's just boring. It would be so unsatisfying!

Any recommendations welcome.

But no stealth freewheeling with them.

Yes and yes, and you can perhaps save money by getting a centrelock to 6 bolt adaptor instead of new rotors (and alleviate any lingering doubts about compatibility there).
