Frehub body looks fine, no significant gouges.
Cassette also good nick and not much use.
I've torqued down as much as it needs, but there's still play in the cassette on the freehub body? I'd cleaned and regressed the splines but I'm still gettin play and sounds awful under power. And physically, if you hold the bigger sprockets you can see play. There is a space fitted but it's not "notched" so doesn't seem to sit in the notches on the freehub - I'd have assumed the spacer 1st on between the cassette and freehub base would mesh together??
Is there a magical combination of Hope Pro2 frehhub and a cassette that fits well? As I said, the alloy carrier looks OK to me but would also consider a steel freehub "upgrade" if this would help?
Should be a non notched spacer behid the cassette I think?
Which pro 2 version? Pro 2, pro 2 Evo or pro 2 Evo 40t? The hub shell will be marked with version.
If one of the first two it should fit with no spacers. If the 40t version you need a spacer (like with the pro4) as the freehub is 11s road compatible.
It appears there are two standards in the Hope Pro 2 Evo rear hubs freehubs that are Shimano HG style fitment. There is 11 speed road and Mountain Bike Cassette 8-10 speed ( also 11 speed MTB). Part numbers 523 and 528 freehubs are an example.
I'm a doofus. Quite clearly says pro 4 on the hub. (on a Hope tech Enduro rim).
So. Conflicting answers from what I've Googled.
So there should be a spacer. 1.85mm. Flat and doesn't fit into the freehub or any notch on the back of the cassette?
Looks like I have the right spacer but still lateral play, feels like close to a mm if I move the largest sprocket l to r.
Perhaps it's more worn than a casual glance suggests? Definitely doesn't feel right. I accept some play as things wear but neither appears that old or worn.
I'll strip it again tonight and have a proper look. Worse case scenario is new freehub body and new cassette.
Did you fit the extra spacer or just the new cassette? The spacer is not part of, or supplied with the cassette. It's comes with the hub. It may have stuck to the old cassette. If you have play then I'd bet there is no spacer installed. Cassettes and freehubs do not wear in a way that gives play in the way you describe.
Have you got all the spacers on, including the lockring one?
There should be 3 cassette ones and 1 hub one.
The spacer was already installed. If I remove it there is even more play.
Was all installed when I bought it. The previous owner had great taste but the bike was not well looked after. Rounded off Pivot Bolts. Rear wheel wasn't aligned properly. Tyres were brittle. I've basically stripped cleaned and gone over most things. Stupid things like disc rotor bolts not tight, caliper bolts not tight.
Good fun tho. Know the bike pretty well and I can't ride it while the cassette feels so awful.
There's something missing rather than worn 8f there is inboard outboard play unless it's the freehub/wheel itself moving (in those misaligned dropouts)
How the hell do tyres go brittle?!?
Direct Australian sun.
There is no locking spacer. This might be it. Bingoooooo.
Y10Z04000 is the part number.
Now I can't find my chain whip.
Well....
I found a spacer in my parts box which seems to be the right size. I don't recall taking one off the current cassette.
will try again tonight!
Stripped. Cleaned.all spacers in place. The lock ring one was there but it's super thin in comparison to the others.
Torqued up to 40nm. That's actually a fair bit but more force than I'd anticipated w/o using a proper torque wrench.
Still a bit of play but not as acutely noticeable.
Fingers crossed!
