10Sp Road Cassette for Alloy Freehub
Hi,
Whilst my rear wheel is hopefully being warrantied, when removing the cassette, I noticed a bit of notching on the freehub body.
I was using a 105 5700 cassette, with half of the splines removed to save weight :roll: .
Any one got any advice for a sensibly priced 10sp road cassette which will minimise the notching for when the wheel comes back?

105 is the worst... Tiagra and Ultegra are betterleft the forum March 20230

Why would 105 be any different from Tiagra or Ultegra? I'd have thought that not removing half the splines would be a better recommendation. Or a steel bodied freehub?0

Rumour is that there is a steel freehub for my wheels (Kinesis CX Disc), but getting hold of one is a different matter. I'd even consider stepping up to a titanium one, if the cost wasn't too much more."Bed is for sleepy people.

You can get a Novatec Type B freehub with 1 steel spline, called ABG, that will fit your hub (BDOP cycling in Taiwan).
To be honest I don't know why, but the deepest dents I have seen were always 105 cassettes. I used Ultegra 9 and now Tiagra and my Novatec splines are pristineleft the forum March 20230 -

As you are local, if you want to pop over, I can double check your freehub is indeed a Novatec... as Kinesis might have changed supplier... you know sticker makers do these kind of things... Planet X changed suppliers 3-4 timesleft the forum March 20230

I may well take you up on that offer (the wheel is with kinesis being warrantied for ironically, massive freehub drag). There would be a beer in it for you."Bed is for sleepy people.

Is that the wheel where there's a hub / freehub seal that's been installed back to front?0

I think I read another thread where somebody had taken the thing to bits and worked out what the problem was. Definitely a Kinesis cross wheel. Either a seal in back to front or a bearing not pressed in quite far enough. Kinesis thanked him for drawing their attention to it and admitted they'd had a bad batch. I'll try to find the thread; I think Ugo pitched in at one point...0

Tx, just read it, unfortunately already been warrantied, otherwise I would have had a go, Timing sounds about right, so could've been the same batch. Darn it, I could've done that.
Bizarre thing is mine took 500 - 600 miles to become evident and became progressively worse over the course of a week.
We will see what happens.
I am going to go for hand built wheels next time for sure (starts saving money for some Royce hubs)."Bed is for sleepy people.
