You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I recently ordered some Pro2 wheels and need to get a cassette - after reading [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/hope-pro-2-hubs-1 ]this thread[/url] I figure I need one with an alloy carrier. Does the SLX fit the bill or will I have to shell out for XT?
I'd go for XT myself...SLX does have an alloy carrier but only for the 3 largest cogs unlike on the XT which has the 6 largest cogs on the carrier
unless you buy the steel freehub from hope
Hmmm, £50+ for a steel freehub which weighs almost twice as much as the alloy one, or an extra tenner for a cassette. XT it is then!
An XT cassette will still mark the freehub
My XT cassette has marked my Pro 2 hub. I don't think there's a way around it really. It's going to get marked whatever you use..
So what cassettes *won't* f*ck up the freehub then?
Edit - just seen Martyn's post. In that case surely it doesn't really matter what cassette you use at all?
