Removing cassette from hope pro 2 hub

rockmonkeysc

My cassette seems to have actually dug in to the aluminium freehub body on my pro 2 hub. Is there any way to remove the hub & will I have to replace the free hub body?

Yes and probably not....


You usually need two chain whips to get the cassette of if it has bitten into the freehub, then radially deburr the freehub body and they're usually fine after that.

How does that work with the 2 chain whips?

Hold one sprocket while untwisting the other, start with the smallest and then work our way up one at a time.

Then either get a cassette with an alloy spider or get a steel freehub body.

lol.... gotta love the hope alu hubs.

What cassette are you using?

Northwind

But don't worry, according to Hope it's just cosmetic

Its a SunRace 9 speed cassette.

unfortunately all Sunrace cassettes use separate cogs and spacers.
Hope state XT and above cassettes (one that have a built in carrier to spread the load).

Don't the spiders only carry the largest 5 sprockets, so you'll still get the smallest 4 or 5 sprockets digging into the freehub body ?

depends on the cassette. model and year, some have more on the carrier some have more than one carrier.
