That was the first thing I tried. It's not budging, I've had easier times removing suntour sprockets, and that's saying something. I also remember reading somewhere these are not made for removal. Which makes since with the advent of riveted cassette clusters and catridge-bearings(sadly) So, I'm pretty sure I need to remove the cog lockring first. Thanks for your reply, though
The face says made in Singapore and it's marked with an 08. Either 08 or D8, can't quite tell
