That said, it's so much nicer to have a freehub body like what's on the American Classic Hurricane Disc wheelset I tested recently. I've still got those wheels on my Gryphon and just had occasion to remove the cassette. It slid off easily, thanks to the steel freehub body insert. Very nice... Thumbs-up to all who are doing this on their hubs.MGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14301752250721808758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-9438058255319917842014-10-08T07:27:36.778-05:002014-10-08T07:27:36.778-05:00@Nate: Yes, I've done all the tricks I know. I...@Nate: Yes, I've done all the tricks I know. I am afraid that if I start using more force, I'll go beyond what would be safe to use the cassette anymore, and it isn't all that old. <br /><br />I can see where it is stuck and where it is mostly loose, so it may even be a corrosion issue. At any rate, I spent about an hour on something that should take less than a minute to do. That's my point here. I mean, you should never have to file a freehub body these days with the solutions that exist and are available to any freehub manufacturer/wheel maker.

One that holds the largest cog and prevent the freehub from rotating counterclockwise, and the other chain whip to remove the cogs starting at the smallest and working your way in. You'll probably need to file the hubs off after every 2-3 cogs. Usually the largest 3 cogs are on a carrier. <br /><br />This has worked for me in the past with DT hubs. <br /><br />If you've already tried this, ignore.Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07032332439932118645noreply@blogger.com
