My Novatec hub cassette body is showing signs of wear, some indentations on the raised parts, I've only run Ultegra cassettes so was surprised to see this wear after only 4000 miles or so.
See pic
Is this normal?
Do I need to replace the cassette body or have I a bit more life left yet?
Aluminum body, its not unusual. I'd get a file and clean it up, only really to ease the refitting of the cassette. The wear is there, it can't be made better, but it won't really be a problem IMO.
I do wonder about inserting one of their aluminium hub gear drivers into whoever at Shimano decided that soft alloy was the right thing to use for something that has a hard sprocket put on it... but the hard sprocket might be better Edit: the OP might find similar thoughts about Novatec comforting.
