it's an 11 speed (road) cassette on a Hunt wheel. If I crank cassette up tight it drags - looks to me as though cassette is seizing on hub shell?
it's a friend's wheel, was previously set up as a singlespeed
Definitely road 11 speed compatible?
I had this, and I was inadvertently doing up an 11 sp MTB cassette on a road hub. As nixie said, check carefully.
Sounds like a missing cassette / freehub spacer but not so much with a road cassette.
It’s not the Shimano low gear road cassette (11-32?) that’s actually an MTB cassette is it?
yeah it's an 11 - 32
i've tried with a spacer but lockring doesn't engage. Maybe a thinner spacer?
Watch the Hunt videos online. There's a rubber seal that sits over the freehub. I missed taking the old one out when I replaced a hub and had exactly your issues.

This is what happened to me too. Sneaky little seal.
+2. In my case it was an Ambrosio hub, made by Novatec. I replaced the freehub body to upgrade to 11 speed but left the old seal in.
Have you replaced the seal on the free body ( to the wheel) properly ( i.e fully popped in?). On a Hope wheel. if you don't do the, it gives you the symptoms you describe.
Obviously, you are not on a Hope wheel - so just as suggestion

Also (again Hope so OT - just a suggestion) when you are installing the main free hub to hub seal, put the end cap on to hold the body 'in'. These Hope seals have been getting progressively more difficult to 'pop' into place over the last few years...
