Rear Cassette

[Minnsy]

Went out last night, and for once before I went out I sort of 'checked' over the bike...noticed that the rear cassette was a bit loose, so dropped the wheel out and tightened the thing up (with what I think is called a cassette lock ring tool...)
Went out - 3 hrs later clanky noise from rear cassette... the lock ring has worked its way loose again and the cassette is all wobbly! I did do it up pretty tight by the way...

Any ideas why it would do this? Is the bike telling me it needs more money spending on it (Spesh Epic)

Any ideas?

Cheers

Has the spacer at the back of the cassette broken / fallen off? Did you tighten it properly using a chain whip and lock ring tool or just the lock ring tool? Has the lock ring come loose again? It could be the freehub body disintergrating. Has the lock ring got it's thin metal washer?
