Loose sprokets on casette

Hi,

I recently took my bicycle into a shop for a tune up. They
cleaned everything and readjusted the equipment back to
"optimal" settings.

When I got it back, I noticed a new noise and tracked it
down to the rear casette -- all of the sprocket rings are
just slightly rotationally loose. Is this a normal
adjustment???

Thanks, Bill

The bike shop either left a shim ring (NOT a spacer) off or they forgot to properly tighten the lock ring.

Some Shimano freehub cassette/freehub bodies require a spacer, some don't.

What's the difference between a jerk and a dip [censored]?

If you top posted on purpose, you're a jerk.

If you did it unknowingly, you're a dipshit.

Hope that helps!

Maybe he means the shim = ~0.5mm spacer (looks like
crenellated ring) that often is used to space the 2nd or
3rd cog away from the bolt or rivet heads on a riveted cog
assembly. As opposed to the full ~3mm spacer between cogs.
It isn't a very clear way of making the distinction.
Anyway, those goofy crenellated rings do sometimes go
astray. The OP should go back to the shop and they should
figure it out for him.

I simply asked a question. Why did that (seem to)
disturb you?

A spacer is a required part of the assembly. A shim may or
may not be installed depending on the tolerances of the
specific installation.
