Note: this service applies only to Generation 1 TRS+ Cassettes, 9-42T and 9-44T.
If you have a newer, 9-46T 11 or 12 speed TRS+ or TRSr cassette with creaking issues, read the article here: Troubleshooting Cassette noise (TRS+, TRSr, XCX)
We have found that certain freehub bodies may interact with our cassette in such a way that noise can occur under load. We have made changes to newer production runs of the cassette to solve this potential problem.
Step 1:
Grease under the 9-10t cogs on the steel portion of the cassette.
Step 2:
If greasing doesn't solve your issue, contact your nearest distributor for a creak fix kit. The kit includes a spacer and small PTFE washer.
Remove your cassette, install the silver spacer under the cassette
Re-install the aluminum cogs and lockring
Install the PTFE washer and make sure it is seated on the XD driver
Re-install the steel portion of the cassette.
