I dont use a torque wrench but I tighten the lockring as far as I can by hand. I will find a bigger wrench for the job. However, I'm wondering, if you put enough torque on the cassette, wouldn't it still bite into squishy aluminum?
My powertap hub did it, a buddy of mine's powertap hub did it, I had a SRAM hub do it as well as a couple of others. I tighten the lockring plenty tight enough so I know that isn't the cause.
