I had a question about reinstalling the rear cassette on my road bike after deep cleaning it in degreaser.
When I removed the cassette I noticed something also bounced on the floor and by making a metal "ping" sound. I noticed what looked like a metal spacer on the ground nearby it measures 1.75-1.85 mm thick. (Pictured on the left below.)
I didn't see where this spacer was prior to removal, so I am not certain how to reinstall it. Am I correct that it should sit behind the rear cassette and go on freehub first?
Please let me know if I reinstalled my cassette correctly by putting the spacer on first.
I also noticed this spacer also went on more than just "one way" unlike the rest of the cassette. I am guessing that is okay due to it just being a spacer.
Thanks for your time!
