Hello! New dad here with not a lot of extra money for new bike parts, I probably won’t get to ride much this season anyway (2nd future grom coming this summer đ
), is it okay to reuse this mirco spline with my new cassette?
Was going to clean it up and try to lightly sand out some of the marks from where it’s chewed up..
What do you guys and gals think?
Bike is a 18′ pivot switch blade, and I’m putting on a new 12 speed SLX cassette.
Thanks!

Most of that is OK in my book except for the smallest cog location and I would get a new freehub for that reason.
that is not a microspline freehub body. That is a standard HG freehub and will not work with 12 speed shimano.
That freehub belongs in the trash before it does damage to the casette and you will need MicroSpline freehub body for shimano 12speed.
You can use it with 10/11 speed cassette, not 12 speed
its not ok for hard conditions
As others are saying you need a new one anyway for that cassette. However I heard that when a free hub looks like that where the cassette has dug in the metal becomes âwork hardenedâ so will be more resilient to similar forces over time. So basically it wouldnât happen as much going forward with a new cassette (if you werenât changing to 12sp).
