The 1st 3 sprockets on my slx cassette are moving around all over the shop as noticed and heard on a trip to sherwood pines today ๐Ÿ™
Is the free hub on the fatty wheelset alloy or steel? i'm thinking the alloy spider carrier on my cassette is the culprit?

My Fatty has a steel freehub body.

What cassette are you using?

Hi Joe, its an SLX HG-81, its rattling around (1st 3 sprockets at the top) has to be a dodgy cassette, its 6 rides old though!

Top meaning high gear (smallest cogs) or low gear (largest cogs)?

Yep, they're all mounted to the same carrier.

Are you sure that the lockring is tight?

Was the spacer left out by chance?

Sorry Joe, should of explained better, it moves in a turning motion not pulling or pushing motion if that makes sense? it turns on the hub 2-3mm, removing it tomorrow mate and i'll update this thread ๐Ÿ™‚
