The "raised stopper" is part of the freehub - not the cassette. I took a picture of the gap between the 29t cog and the hub. See the attached picture, gap.jpg. I assembled the cassette in the order dictated by the instruction sheet. It took me a while to realize that the spacers are not the same width.

There isn't much left of my drive side axle length after I have the cassette fully assembled onto the hub. See the attached picture, axleend.jpg.

All of this translates to a very tight fit on the frame. See the attached picture, noroom.jpg. I tried to fit the hub in my other road bike and it was no better. Both frames have 130mm rear drop out spacing. The chain rubs against the seat stay joint.

In my overly simplified mind, I would like to remove the "raised stoppers" on the freehub or find a cassette whose largest cogs are offset inward.

Am I doing something wrong?
