Loose cassette

Spacer, washer, shim, Burt or George. I don't care. Everyone knew what I meant.
Now I'm calling Dave a pedant.
Nice one @bikeworkshop, all that stock comes in handy for stuff like this.

I care, I said it first and I was right God damn it. you were off talking about UG blar blar, admit it, I know more and you have to let go of your Inn dwellers crown. Nar nar na nar nar.

Feel better now. love ya Benji

I have one of those squiggly washamespaceyshimerooni things. Always wondered what it was really for. Every day is a school day here

OK, is that an aluminium Hope freehub body?

If so, you should really be using a cassette with an alloy carrier such as XT or XTR , sram and sunrace did offer 8spd but I haven't seen a live one in a while

Steel cassettes on alloy freehubs can 'spin' eating into the freehub splines, not nice

XT and XTR cassettes had an extra lip on the back acting where you have noticed the 'missing ' spacer

I also remember my Hope hubs having an aluminium spacer already fitted but that is some time ago
