I had never heard of an alloy cassette body before. I was completely surprised to read that the Silver hubs have this. I didn't know that this was a thing that hub manufacturers would do. Considering the cogs are steel, and all the motive force propelling the bicycle forward is transmitted through the driveshell, aluminum does seem an unlikely choice. I would have thought it would be way too much stress for aluminum. It would seem a no-brainer for Riv to have spec'd the best of all possible bike materials, i.e., steel for the job. I wonder what their reasoning was.
