I use a Park FR-5.2GT cassette tool to install/remove this part. It ensures that I don't cross-thread the cassette. This is a common concern, since the cassette has pretty fine threads and takes a fair amount of torque to install, it leaves a lot of folks wondering if they might've just cross-threaded it. Take the time to dial it in once installed. SRAM has some great videos on YouTube. Pay attention to chainline... my Kona's an older non-boost frame, and yes, that 3mm difference in chainline really makes a difference. Use the supplied SRAM derailleur adjustment gauge. You can dial this thing in perfectly - I've run both 30 & 32t rings up front with absolutely silent shifting.
The only real downside to this cassette is also its upside: weight. As much as I hate the weight. it's also hard to ignore the fact that the weight also means it's made outta steel and it's gonna take a lot of wear and tear. I don't expect to wear this thing out anytime soon.
