Don't forget that even XT 11-34 only have an ally carrier for the lowest 6 gears. 7,8 and 9 are steel straight into your hub. Not sure what types have an entirely ally carrier.

I'm looking at SunRace but have heard good and bad about them so am still undecided
But can be cheap

Assuming you're talking 9-speed? I like the SRAM PG990, and if you don't mind the 'tango orange' colour, CRC are doing them for 45 quid at the moment - buy a couple and use a ten quid off voucher to sweeten the deal...

Nothing at all, XG-999/XX are the only ones that will do no damage to your freehub body, but seeing as it's basically cosmetic I really wouldn't get too het up on it.
XT or PC990 will be fine, SLX will be alright.

XG-999 at 200 and something quid equals about 5 ally freehub bodies!
As njee20 says the damage to the freehub is mainly cosmetic although a buddies SLX cassette has marked his freehub more than my XT has marked mine. Could have a lot to do with his longer legs and extra 3 stone though.Posted 4 months ago # -
Loose cassettes will do more damage too. SLX does have fewer sprockets on a carrier, 3 IIRC.

Rose bikes are doing the XT at £37.90
It's £5 postage but if you 'Like' them on Facebook you get a £10 off voucher code so it'll come in at £32.90.
I don't use FB but used the wifes account to get the code and it worked fine.
