  1. Well, not really a wobble, more like a bit of play between the bolt
    that attaches the der to the frame (RD-CH119), and the der body itself.
    If I wiggle it, the top of the cage next to the upper jocky wheel moves
    toward and away from the cogs by about 1mm. Is this normal to have this
    much play, and will it effect the shifting performance? It is a 9 speed
    Centaur, and it has been on the bike for about 2000 miles.

    Thanks!

    It may but the only way to find out is to try it. All rear derailleurs
    have some play there, even when new.

    Yes. Same with the brand new Chorus derailleur I fitted.

    I don't think so.
