  • 5800 cassette v 6800 cassette: does 5800 now have an alu sprocket carrier that will be less bitey on freehubs?

  • 5800 have only the largest 3 sprocket with an carrier.

    6800 have the largest 5 sprocket with a carrier (3 in one carrier, and 2 in one carrier).

    My recommendation is to torqued up the lockring as well as putting copper slip on the freehub spindle, as not having it tight enough can cause the sprocket to bite more on the alu freehubs body, and the copper slip enable easier removal when needed.

  • Thanks chief. I'm sure there's a technique to getting cassettes off bitten hub bodies but I always throw my toys out the pram.
