The QUICK question thread.....

Is it normal to have a very small bit of lateral play in the cassette?

I'm talking about the cassette as a whole and not an individual cog.

No. What cassette and driver? Some need a shim.

The play is in the freehub, and a little bit is pretty normal.

Would 9L be enough... do you keep it in the freezer too?

9 litres - the perfect amount.

Beer fridge... in the door where the milk used to live when it was the kitchen fridge freezer.

Gels and energy bars live on the shelves above.

The play is in the freehub, and a little bit is engineered in on shimano hubs.

Mmmmmm are you sure the play isn't in the wobbly wheel?

More importantly, what hub?

Nearly all hubs have some play, cartridge bearing included.

But we all witnessed it.

Is the cassette fastened into position securely? Occasionally these can work loose.

Even hope.

Fuck knows, probably a Joytech or something OEM like.

Which video do you see it in? And at what point? I have a bit of a wobble in the rim but not the wheel itself as far as I can tell.

It was most prevalent in the slow-mo, but then once you've seen it the other 2 can't hide it.

Not mine…granted it’s only been about 30 sets over a 20 year period. Most are still even on original bearings.

This is almost certainly yore ishew.

There's a slight buckle in the wheel but maybe the wobble was related to the loose hangar which is now tightened up?

Maybe I just save for a quality back wheel then.
