    Hi! long time rider, first time posting...

    Can you over tighten a cassette lock ring? 😕

    I installed a new cassette on a Ksyrium SL rear wheel yeserday that I just bought, and the free wheel seems tight? The wheel spins fine but when I turn the cranks backward it bogs down and doesn't want spin freely while reversing the crank spin. I had it on my workstand and when you spin the cranks backward it jams up the chain in the front deraullier b/c the rear cogs spin in reverse too slow.
    Any thoughts, I hope I'm not too confusing here....😎
