Wobbly cassette - why?

[Ajax Bay]

With cassette fitted (no spacer), lock ring spun on in 3 revs, i.e. bottomed out.
Fitted the spacer and cassette, but there's not enough of the spline exposed for the smallest cog to bite into. i.e. the spacer is too big. I need a 1mm spacer.

An alternative approach might be to use one of these (with the 1.85mm spacer), which has a couple more mm of thread. Jeopardy is that:

• the 11sp sprocket isn't engaged with the freehub splines
• the 11sp sprocket is real close to the drop out.

Am not recommending this but found it in my explorations.

It's like bloody Coronation Street this saga. Been going on almost as long !

1mm spacer on order now, so stay tuned for another exciting episode...

Is that a tin roof? Think tin would be too soft for a 1mm spacer.

Stick it on, confirm that the problem has been fixed, and let us get on with our lives!

This cassette's been on and off so many times now, I managed to fit the 1mm spacer in less than 10 minutes.

I am pleased to inform that the cassette wobble has gone. JOB DONE.
Cheers, everyone 👍

I hope you weren’t holding your breath!

Great news!

However, where life in the before-times once offered anticipation, excitement, intrigue... in the wake of this development I now feel only the cold vacuum of the void - its unfathomably black chasm yawing open toward the infinite; as if to devour my very soul like the jaws of some gigantic, inescapable, mythical sea-creature the mere existance of which no mortal man has lived to recount..

 

[fossyant]

I hope you've cleaned that hub as well.

I feel a bit deflated now that the saga is over.
