Cassette query

[Salar]

But the big question is......is it a cassette or is it a freewheel.

Take it back and get them to do the job properly. But I'm confused too - Cassette or Freewheel? Spacer? Loose wheel?

He did say I'd need a spacer or he'd have fitted one. It's a 7sp cassette and Mavic freewheel, a I said above the lock ring was loose I've tightened it and now only have a smidge of play ie about 1/2 mm at the back.

Need a chain too but I'll get Shimano ect as Halfords have then at 6.50

Ah, freehub

I'd fit the spacer.

Ah, freehub

Yes, big difference between freeHUB and freeWHEEL!

Sorry didn't know plus the guy fitting it I'm sure said you've got a freewheel or maybe picked him up wrong.

So it's a freehub

1) Did he say you need a spacer or didn't he? Whatever, sounds like you need a 1mm spacer.
2) At the back of what? Do you mean the cassette is free to move even with the lockring tight (40Nm)? Can you shift it so the 1/2mm space is at the 'front' (wherever that is)? If so - spacer needed.

He said I'd probably need one but not what size and didn't have one or he'd have put it on....I also said that above somewhere.

I guess it'd go between 1st and the hub which I also said before. If somebody said to me the back logic says it's the back of the cassette/ gears ie next to the hub.
