I seem to have developed a knack of tearing the arse out of my aluminium freehubs with cassettes. to the point where if I need to remove a cassette - I have to destroy the thing by prizing it off with flat head screw drivers, piece by piece.

I'm investing in new freehubs and keen to avoid it happening. Is there a certain type of cassette less prone to this sort of behaviour? They're on tightly - Everything seems in order...til I go to remove them.

Help!

Use cassettes with an aluminium carrier.
