Hi all,
I got a problem with a brand new Shimano XT 11-34 9s cassette.
I installed it on a Mavic hub (about '99 vintage) and there is quite a
bit of play ("float"). The play is not lateral (like a missing spacer),
but instead it's like the freehub body splines are smaller than the
cassette grooves.
The problem is *exactly* as the one described in this old thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/rec....st&q=xt+cassette+play&rnum=4#3adbfa906198f716
I don't think this is normal, I never seen this in any road wheel and
my girlfriend's mtb with XT hub and cassette also does not have this
problem.
I tried the same cassette on another Mavic (crossmax) wheel also from
about '99 or 2000, with a very similar hub and the problem is the same.
Same thing happens with a dura-ace 7700 hub.
It's very annoying because it makes a loud noise while pedaling. Is
there any solution? Is this a common problem?
Thanks,
Francesco
