Rear Cassette float

timus

I have a Deore rear cassette on my bike , the 2 smallest gears appear tp be looser than the others on the cassette and also the whole cassette moves quite a lot on the freewhee l . Should there be much float /movement on the cassette ?.

seems like a spacer is missing.

The teeth also look very worn on the middle 3 - 4 cogs as well as the chain seems to flexible (you can turn it from side to side) , its not stretched though as I bought the tool to check this .

If the teeth look worn it is time for a new cassette.

there shouldn't be any play in the casette. remember that if you change the casette you need to change the chain. they wear together and will slip if you replace only one. you wont get away with it!

never grow up..... just find a bigger playground!
