Ok... so I am having a bit of trouble removing my cassette. I have removed the lockring but the cassette won't budge.

I have recently got new wheels and this is the first time I have tried removing the cassette from this wheel... Does anyone have any tips to make it easier to remove?

If it is pertinent, the wheel is a Planet X AL30 and the cassette is a SRAM PG850.

Cheers

    What can happen is the splines on the cassette eat into some softer freehubs. If thats the case, its like trying to get a key out of a lock if the key was in the wrong position.
    Rather than trying to slide the whole cassette off as one, start at the smallest cog and fiddle it round until you find its correct place on the spline (does that make sense)...then work your way back, one by one.
