Noticed that there is quite a lot of play/wobble at the cassette on my enduro. It's a 10 speed XT cassette on a roval traverse Al wheel, albeit I believe with DT swiss hubs/internals.
Tried tightening the cassette locknut, its tight.
Tried getting the cassette off so I could check further, its well stuck.

Is my best solution dropping it to LBS or should it be a fairly easy fix?

Oh, reason I noticed it was as bike seemed to be doing quite a bit of ghost shifting and as I was watching the cassette/chain as it was ghosting, I also noticed that the cassette was not running true, hence then finding out it has a wobble.

Thanks.

    Freehub bearings fucked. There'll be a video online on how to replace them no doubt.

    Took it in to local spesh dealer, got me a freehub in today, £68 :shock: + a bit for fitting.

    (btw, have nothing to compare it against pricewise, but glad I was sitting down..)
