    This is a Pro 2 Evo

    Normal wear and tear?

    Note. The file marks on the outside edge are mine trying to get the cassette off

    Yup. Soft as cheese and fairly loosely toleranced so the cassette digs in quickly. It does take a lot of wear before it becomes a problem, though.

    The notching on the splines?

    Yes. But I’d use a cassette with an aluminium spider. Doesn’t dig in anywhere near as much. Just give it a light dressing with a small file.

    and do the lockring up ‘FT’ A loose(ish) cassette can also cause this.

    Just file down the burrs before refitting the cassette. To reduce this in the future use a non steel cassette or replace freewheel with a steel one

    OK, thanks

    The cassette was a bugger to get off though

    Interesting the mention of tightening up pretty tight to reduce the issue

    So what’s the best combo to use – both steel?

    Don’t tighten more than 40NM

    I use a chain-whip on the smallest gear to hold the freehub still and then give the rest of the cassette a gentle knock anti-clockwise with a rubber mallet to push the cassette back out of where it’s dug in.

    Cassette will come off easy then 8)

    40nm is pretty damn tight in my books!

    Good advice from Rocketdog. Over tightening will crack the freehub.
