Hello
I recently got a new cassette (Shimano XT M770) for my mountain bike (a Trek 6500), however I can't seem to fit it correctly. It goes onto the hub just fine but as soon as I tighten the lockring (even just by hand), it becomes too tight to freewheel. I tried the old lockring and same thing.
I can't see what's going on there - If I take the smallest cassette ring away the system happily freewheels when the lockring is tightened, but as soon as I put it back the whole system becomes too tight.
Help much appreciated - got a big ride coming up this weekend and the bike's been throwing tantrums all week.
