Sadly this isn't coming apart xD I cranked way too tightly with the breaker bar. But I know for a fact there is nothing behind the cassette cause I remember not putting anything on before I put the cassette back on.

Shoot. I can't get it off so I can't find one to put back.. I guess I am going to live with it until I get my new freehub. I was thinking of replacing the cassette along with the freehub anyhow, I just like new-on-new components, so the whole rear wheel is getting replaced.

But I have the exact problem you had. When I am in lower (bigger) gears, nothing, when I am in the higher (smaller) gears, rattle rattle rattle -.-

Guess I am living with it because I cranked down too much. I could cut the lock nut and get it off that way, but then I will need a new lock nut.

Thanks!

Sadly the problem is with the chain whip. I can't get enough leverage to hold it still, or it just starts bending and the links start breaking. I may just get a new one with the new wheel set I have planned. I kind of like putting new on new anyhow. I just don't know if cheaper cassettes means ****tier shifting..
