Goose1 Posted April 29, 2010 Share please help,just got my new set of xt wheels and when i spun the back wheel the casette swayed/moved ?spoke to my lbs and he says its normal something to do with the free hub?surely a R4000.00 wheelset shouldnt have any movement on the casette? any other hubber out there experienced the same??

Goose1 Posted April 29, 2010 Share please someone pick up their rearwheel , spin it and tell me if your casette sways/moves slighty or doesnt?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackie Posted April 29, 2010 Share That sounds dodge to me. One of the two components are warped/bent, there is now way that either should have lateral movement, if they are not poked. Is the disc rotor doing the same on the opposite side? Does it look buckled?Take them back and get them on a truing stand, but take them to another LBS to get a second un-biased opinion.But another question, you been suiping? Is so re check in the morning, if not the former advice is the better option. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurora Posted April 29, 2010 Share I work at a bike shop, brand new XT rear hub did the exact same thing you talk about. I thought it was broken but apparently they all do this ?? Confirm this please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose1 Posted April 29, 2010 Share that what my lbs said but i wasnt convinced?however if h.d. has seen this and he works at a bikeshop then i suppose its the truth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old school Posted April 29, 2010 Share Its supposed to be like that. I'm not sure about the theory behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johan Bornman Posted April 29, 2010 Share All wheels do that. Relax, it is normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimby Posted April 30, 2010 Share I've had an XT wheelset for 9 months and the casette has always oscillated slightly - doesn't seem to be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassie Posted April 30, 2010 Share All wheels do that. Relax' date=' it is normal. [/quote'] I had forgotten that mine did that. Why? It promtes a better chain pick-up when shifting throught he gears....even my laaitie's R500 Raleigh from Game does this....I aslo took it back to tell them it was FUBAR....my bad!!
