I agree that some cassette lock rings have a noticeable difference in how tightly they fit within the freehub body threads. I never tracked brands or models but seem to remember that alloy lock rings tended to be a tighter fit on average then the steel more common ones are. BTW I add a drop of oil to these threads before installing the lock ring. Andy
