road 105 vs xtm8000 noise
Curious if anyone knows why 2 different Shimanno cassettes make different noises. My Specialized Rubaix has 105 and it clicks when I stop pedaling and on my Jamis Dragonslayer, it has xtm 8000 and it makes no noies at all when I quit pedaling. Is this a normal occurrence? Both seem to work properly.

The xt hub does seem to be a quieter one, mine is also an 8000 series and is quieter than my daughter's rs-505 hub which was the previous generation 105 level 11sp disc hub. Probably if you peruse the Shimano website on the current xt stuff it'll say something about it. I know that the previous generation xtr freehub bodyis listed as compatible with the 8000 series but the previous iteration of XT isn't listed so they did more than change the numbers and color.
