HED Disk Casette Wobble

Justin F. Knotzke said:

Hi,

I have a HED Disk that is several years old. It has a Shimano 9 speed body on it and all of the
casettes I have tried yield a wobble and as a result the chain often skips.

I am not entirely sure the skipping is due to the wobble or a mismatched chain/casette. But the
wobbling can't be good. I did some googling and found this:

Can anyone shed some light on what I should do concerning this wobble?

Thanks

You can always send it back to Hed so they can look at it...

The same thing happened after my rear wheel was hit by an SUV. It turns out that the impact jammed
off center the hole into which the cassette body bolt screws. I had to replace the hub body, it was
hosed. If this is the story with your wheel, you could be out of luck unless HED has a good warrenty
/ replacement policy.

Hope this helps,

I would be surprised if it were not caused by the freehub body not being seated correctly on the
hub. This can be caused the washer behind it having a burr or grit - mineral or otherwise - between
the washer and the hub/body. Other than that, it could be that the bearing in the freehub body is on
the way out. A simple replacement won't be too expensive.

Hope this helps, cheerz, Lynzz

Alright, thanks to all who replied. I'll take it apart and see what I can't find.
