[Closed] Hope pro2 evo - best cassette ?
Topic starter
I've just bought a set of these, and keep reading about the aluminum freehub getting chewed up, I know it's only cosmetic and freehubs are easily replaced, don't really wanna add weight by putting a steel freehub on,
Basically what's best/cheapest cassette
Or
Don't worry and just replace freehubs as and when needed ?

I think the Shimano SLX cassette comes with an Alu spider. No idea about Sram though.

XT seems OK. The SLX that it replaced had chewed the freehub a bit.

Last time i asked one of the online retailers i was told:
The SLX and XT cassette or the Sram 980/990 cassette will both be fine with a Hope hub.
I went SLX and it's been fine so far. No slipping or movement of the cassette like i had before.
