AlanD Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Hi All, Recently changed cassette (10sp slx) and have noticed a slight wobble when the wheel turns. Its not major but still noticeable. Is this normal? Has anyone experienced this? The cassette is tightened sufficiently. Could it be a hub issue? Thanks.
NotSoBigBen Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 In my bit of experience it is normally a worn freewheel body .....
AlanD Posted June 9, 2015 Author Posted June 9, 2015 Can I replace the feewheel body as apposed to getting a whole new hub?
Paul Ruinaard Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Can I replace the feewheel body as apposed to getting a whole new hub?Yes - depending on what hubs they are and how worn it is.
AlanD Posted June 9, 2015 Author Posted June 9, 2015 They are xt hubs and didn't really check the condition before fitting tje cassette. Where can I get one?
AlanD Posted June 9, 2015 Author Posted June 9, 2015 Hahaha, ok lbs it is :-). Thanks for the advise all, much appreciated.
David Marshall Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Freehubs that bolt on to the hub (cup and cone bearings) as opposed to the type that run on the axle with sealed cartridge bearings can develop significant play before they become dis functional. If it is relatively silent and smooth I wouldn't stress too much.
NotSoBigBen Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 I have just found that as it gets worse it gets more and more tricky to get the rear shifting right, more so with 10sp ..... Just me?
AlanD Posted June 9, 2015 Author Posted June 9, 2015 There is no significant noise and the gears shift up and down ok. Still trying to get the indexing right on the rd as its not super smooth but not sure if the slight wobble plays a part but surely it should not wobble at all? Quick RD question: when on the smallest cog, the cable is a littl slack but if I take the slack out out I can't get the gears to shift nicely but when its a little slack it shifts ok. Also I might at some point have tightened the barrel adjusted too far in, I used pliers. Could this have caused damage as when I adjust with the adjuster the gears adjust as expected but the adjuster is just really tight now and have to put in some arm effort to turn it?
Vetseun Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Guys I have just noticed the same on my Mavic Crossmax hoops. Can they also be repaired? Thanks

Ryno. Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 The cups and cones can be a bit loose just tighten them, or your freehub body can be a bit loose remove axle and tighten with no8 allen key or it may be broken . just buy a new one.
AlanD Posted June 15, 2015 Author Posted June 15, 2015 Finally managed to get the axel out and after gathering up all my balls, I cannot see how to remove the freehub. Is a non removable one or are those groves on the inside, either side, a way to remove it? Please help.
