New Sram Red Cassette squeaks?
Moderator: robbosmans
Has anyone else notice the squeak that is caused by the rubber inserts in the new Sram Red Cassette?
Custom Steel is the ONLY way to roll!

Cassettes wouldn't squeak, ever: they don't have moving parts. The whole part moves!
Have you:
-lubed your chain?
-applied a little graphite powder between the cassette and the freehub?
-checked to see if the sound is coming from your rear hub?
-checked your derailleur's jockey wheels?
-considered that the squeak is coming from a small (possibly cute) mouse which has made preference to get a free ride by riding atop your rear derailleur, but squeaks in utter fear every time you shift?

Has anybody removed the elastomers front the cassette?

I did on all three I have, did not notice any noise differance, WAY easier to clean as the rubber doesn't hold the dirt in any more, also 6 grams lighter.
