No, you need to tighten your lockring which is loose. If you don’t have the right tool to fix this, order a cheap one from Amazon or spend 3 bucks in tips or whatever at your LBS for the repair. Just bring them the wheel, not the whole bike.
Are the bigger cogs moving as well or just the smaller ones? Which freehub do you use. Doesn’t look quite right…not sure if that might happen if you miss a spacer when running 11-road HG freehub with a MTB cassette (you need 1,85mm then).
Looks loose. Need to tighten lock ring to spec.
I had this issue as well on the same drivetrain and even after tightening the lockring past the 40Nm rating, it was still loose. i thought i read somewhere that it had something to do with the lockring being too short or something
Loose Locking ring or missing spacer.
Is it even microspline hub? I had this when I installed Deore cassette to shimano hg road hub.
When the cogs are properly installed and spaced, the top of the smallest cog should sit noticeably higher than the top of the freehub. When the lockring is tightened, the cassette cogs are compressed and all the play is removed. If there is play, then something is missing.
If you have an aluminum freehub body, the cassette could be digging into the splines. I had this issue on the HG freehub, this is maybe microspline? Not sure on the new shimano stuff
You might miss a spacer ring that was in need with some hubs
I agree. It doesnt looks good. It seems like those cogs arent from that cassette or something is missing.
Cassette is loose. I would buy the tool because it is very handy but any shop will be able to tighten it in 10 seconds and probably for free.
