Hi,
With difficulty I took off my freehub today off my Zipp 404's. Once i got it off i realised why, the freehub had been chewed by the cassette, Do you think it would be alright to phile the burrs or do i need to get a new freehub body? I'm jsut worried that if i stick it back on again and it chews more then i actually won't be bale to get it off.
Cheers
Jim

You can file the burrs down, but you will want to get a cassette that has more support so that the load is spread throughout the freehub rather than concentrated on a couple of points.0

Zipp have told me that i should get a SRAM cassette? Are they solid-one piece cassettes.?0

They're machined out of one block, but they only apply force through the largest ring, so they should be fine.
the second pic here indicates this nicely.0 -
only the very expensive openglide ones.0

FWIW chewed splines is also symptomatic of a loose cassette lockring - filing off the burrs shouldn't be a problem, it's a fairly hefty chunk of metal.Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..0
