I just thought I'd put this out there.
I swapped my XTR tranny for this wiz bang XX stuff two rides ago. There's a terrible creaking sound coming from the XX cassette when under load in all but the lowest three gears. It's pretty nuts.
This cassette drives the hub only by the 32 (or 36) tooth gear & by the individual 11 tooth 10th gear. There's a black aluminium spacer inside the cassette that's a pretty loose fit on my SLR hub. There's now noticeable wear on the inside of this black aluminium spacer after one race and a ride today.
Seriously, this cassette needs a drive spline under the 9th gear so it centres the cassette under load. It's obvious that the loose fit of the aluminium spacer under the higher gears is allowing for un-wanted movement. I'm going to try an aluminium can shim and more grease on my $600 cassette.
Has anyone else noticed this?
