All seems nice and tight when you do it up, but 15 minutes down some bumpy tracks and it starts rattling around.
Sound familiar? Dud cassette? Could I try adding an extra spacer?

I had an issue with my 10spd xt on a hope hub. Turned out there was a really tiny spur that stopped it tightening fully. Took the edge off and it was fine.
They're not loose on the spider, it's like it needs tightening. I will have a close look for anything amiss, but I don't get why they tighten up in the workshop and then work loose while riding...
The lockring felt tight but there was a tiny bit of play left so the middle section moved and made a hell of a racket on descents. Chain pressure kept it tight so was only when freewheeling.
Check that the smallest sprocket has gone on correctly. Sometimes the spin as you do them up preventing them from engaging on the spline correctly. Take it off and refit it being careful to ensure the smallest is orientated properly.
Thanks
