New Cassette install
Hey folks, just got my new wheelset (Sun Singletracks/XT disc), chain (SRAM PC-99) and cassette (SRAM PG-970 11-34T). Had a question about installing the cassette though. I did get the correct tool for it though. now the cassette only fits on the hub one way because it's keyed, but my question is, how tight should the outer cap be? And is that the only way the cassette is held onto the hub(thought I heard someone talkin about a lockring?)? Never changed one before, so just wanna get some advice so I don't wreck it.

There should be a torque stamped or printed on the cap.
Usually I put it one, get it snug and then just a little bit more. You don't need to be hamfisted or get it gorilla tight, just snug and then a wee bit!
It's rare that a cassette fixing nut works it's way loose, but it does happen.
