Hope cassette body

Hi Halfords have finally got my hope and stans crest rear wheel in after a month of waiting, but after reading a comment on these forums im a little concerned about putting the standard basic sram cassette back on.
Someone on here made a comment about cheap cassette's that as they are made of steel they will kill the alloy hope cassette body and its best to get an alloy cassette ie xt to match.
True, [email protected] or none of the above ?
I could do without forking out £40 for another cassette at the mo with a holiday around the corner :roll: cheers.

Wouldn't worry too much if you're not planning to replace your transmission currently.

I'm guessing my free hub will be chewed up a bit, but I'm hoping to be able to just fit the XT one without having to replace it! Can anybody see why I wouldn't be able too?...
File any edges down, and fit the XT.

That way you can fit any cassette you feel like when they wear out, which should be more often than the freehub itself.
I have a 9spd XT cassette on my ht and the smaller (individual) rings have eaten into the ally freehub body already!

On a side note i nearly threw through the wheel through a window last night after fighting for 2 hours to get a tyre on !
I know ideally crest rims are for tubeless but apparently they do take take tubes as i battled one onto my front , couldnt sort the back one last night but after looking at youtube for tips gonna have another go tonight or is it worth turning to the dark site and considering going tubeless :-\
I worry that when i get a puncture in the middle of nowhere ill be there for hours trying to fix the puncture with tubes ?

2/ NEVER finish putting it on opposite the valve as the bead will never go into the well in the rim where the valve is in the way, try and finish at 90 degrees to the valve,
3/ Never tighten the retaining locknut on the valve (by all means put it on loosely) until the tyre is on the rim as it pulls the valve/tube outwards and makes it harder.
I suppose the only way ill find out is when i get my first puncture and go from there .

Cassette slid off easily!
Maybe I was just lucky?
This.
My old hope sport hub has no marks, dents or anything in it after years and years of use!
