cassettes with carriers/spiders

[giverdada]

hey friends:

i'm picking up my cx bike tomorrow after having had the chris king classic hub serviced (damn proprietary tools!), and apparently i'll need a new cassette as the old one bit way too far into the hub body. anyone have any recommendations for cassettes with carriers?

i'm running shimano 10-speed 105 beater stuff on the bike right now, and have had no mechanical issues with it at all. still wish it was campy though… thanks.

Ultegra. But, your smaller cogs are typically the ones that bite into the freehub body more....and the smaller cogs aren't on a carrier (on any of those type cassettes).

thanks guys. i guess my next step is to get the stainless steel freehub body?

SRAM PG1050 has 3 cogs on a carrier.

so i've been looking through cassettes online and it seems that they all have some degree of non-carrier cogs, and these are all the ones that will get torqued the most - the bottom two or three or four.

i also looked at the chris king driveshell in steel and it's a million dollars. problem is, i've already built the wheel and it's running great and if it wasn't such a unique set-up that (usually) works well, i'd have no problem using a different hub or building a different wheel or whatever. price i pay for doing the fancy thing with a chris king hub i guess. i can't even adjust the thing 'cause of its proprietary 'cones'.

anyway, the sram red one that's almost entirely one block of metal seems pretty good, also a million dollars, and other people have also had problems with ultegra biting into the freehub body, so maybe it's just a damned if i do kind of scenario. in which case, tiagra it is and i'll burn the king driveshell bridge when i come to it. thanks for all of the input though.
