I do ALL mechanical work operating under the rule that "there are NO rules, everything is about the situation". This would apply perfectly here. In order for the system to work as designed, the cassette must overhang the freehub body by 1-2mm so the lockring can compress thecassette without bottoming against the freehub body.*
*I know that that sounds like a rule, but it follows the logic the situation trumps "rules".
