took the cassette off to check out sloppy hub and when i took it off teany weanie black washer dropped out - odd i thought - then when went to clean the cassette before putting back on i found a pin with a thread at one end that goes with it
- all news to me - is it (delete expletive) unsuitable for future use which means dragging kiddies to ooh and ah in LBS in morning and hope actually have a 9 speed cassette in stock or should it be obvious where the pin goes back in - presume its supposed to help keep the cogs in line ?
No. The splines on the freehub keep everything tight. That little screw is just to keep it in 1 piece when it's off the wheel.
Put the cassette back, with or without the pin, do up the lockring and you'll have a perfectly working (and possibly lighter) bike.
thanks needed to laugh(and possibly lighter) bike.
all makes mechanical sense to me
just do away with the pin.
i "make" my own cassettes by breaking a few apart to get the ratio i want. i never replace the pins and never had a problem
