Friend of mind is looking for a lube to cut down on cassette chain noise. He's running super record 11. He has tried various lotions and potions, but not having much luck....any tips for him?

    If the chain is properly lubed the chain / cassette noise is likly to be incorrect indexing. There's no need to lube the cassette

    Hmm not much for Meds1962 to expand on really...

    If the chain has proper lube on it, and it's been properly lubed any noise will be because of incorrect indexing. You don't need to put lube on on the cassette, put it on the chain.

    Check the cassette is tight.
    I recently saw a Tune hub where the cassette kept coming loose.
