This is strange. I swapped my old wheel on to my new frame(mondraker summum). It is a 9 speed hub, everything is tight etc I put a new sram pg970 cassette on, old one was a shimano. But the cassette seems to wide for the freehub body, the smallest cog spins when I put it in the the 9th gear and the cassette lock ring come loose pretty much straight away, it is like the cassette is too wide. Anyone ever come across this? I cannot work out what is wrong nor can anyone I have showed it to. I measured the sram and a shimano cassette and the sram is nearly 2mm wider than shimano.
Sram Cassette Too Wide For Hadley Hub.

- Start date
The white colored plastic "nut" that is inside of the hub shell has worked itself loose. Use a chopstick, or a red Park pin spanner to spin the plastic nut back into the hubshell. this will give the cassette lockring enough threads to bite.

PS - one of my Hadleys came new with this piece too loose, and I nearly ruined the the hubshell by repeatedly trying to get the lockring on.
Ok I will check this, but the cassette will still sit in the same position, when I place the cassette on the freehub body, the smallest cog barely sits on the splines. I think if I try to run it it will just shred them as it is only sitting on them about one mil. The chain sits very close to the rear stay also, when I looked at another mondraker to compare, it did not sit as close as mine does.
This^^
I ran into the same problem not too long ago. It's not the plastic ring because I'd just rebuilt the hub and rechecked it. It's a cheapo cassette but it's sram and it definitely doesn't fit.

Hi. The hater train is about to leave the station. Make sure you load up on your Suntour drivetrain parts with Shimano shifting and Marzocchi fork. You don't want to be left behind.
I have a two Hadley hubs, each with a SRAM cassette.
One fits, one does not. (well, barely anyway).

Woah there! You obviously haven't got the hatorandum about Marzocchi forks, at the moment, you must use a fox fork to avoid a serious hater faux pas.Hi. The hater train is about to leave the station.

I had never heard of this! I drove a long way to a race to find this out...I have a two Hadley hubs, each with a SRAM cassette.

So where does the problem come from the hub or the sram cassette? Everyone seems to use Sram these days, I always used Shimano, but Sram seems better value these days when you look at price to weight ratio in my part of the world.

IMHO Shimano cassettes have always had better durability than SRAM. I'm a big fan of the SLX/Saint 11-28T.
Well earned hate. Already loaded up on Shimano and Marzocchi since they work.Hi. The hater train is about to leave the station. Make sure you load up on your Suntour drivetrain parts with Shimano shifting and Marzocchi fork. You don't want to be left behind.
On Tuesdays.
