    I like my American Classic hubs as a compromise because they use an aluminium freehub but with a couple of 'bite guards' which are thin steel strips running along the edge some of the splines which does reduce the problem. Seems like a good compromise for not much weight penalty.
    Have you pulled of the cassette yet?
    The steel (?) strips on my AmClassic hub didn't help much to stop the cassette form digging into the freehub body.
    I had to wriggle about a little to get the cassette off.

    Bearing issues on Quattros:
    Was it the CX version or the standard one?

    And the aluminium freehub body on Fulcrum Quattro wheels can be replaced with a steel one, I was told by a Fulcrum employee.

    Yeah - there are still small bite marks on the AmClassic hub but they dont go in as far as on normal alu hubs and they seem to stop at a certain point and get no worse. Been through 2 or 3 new cassettes on mine and they arent too bad, despite me being a heavy lad that hammers the pedals... Bit of a wiggle but not too bad. You can file off the burrs if they get too bad to swap cassette.
