Hi all, I just want to confirm if I am just stupid for not using the right spacers on my freehub, or if there is actually something wrong with my cassette. I am using a SROAD 11-42 cassette on Shimano 11s freehub on my gravel bike, with a 1.85mm (8,9,10 speed) spacer. But is seems all sprockets, apart form the smallest one, are still very slightly wiggling under load. Do I need another spacer?

This cassette is all one block, plus the smallest sprocket, so there are no spacers between sprockets, only the one you put on the hub before you slide on the cassette. I know there are 1mm spacers, I am just wondering if I need to add one of those....

I actually found a 1mm spacer today and added it, but no changes to the wiggling....I am starting to think the SROAD cassette spider is actually broken, which is kind of a bummer after only 8k km. Will try a new cassette when I get it and report back.

Hey, sorted...but not the way I thought The original spacer was all that's needed. On this occasion the cassette was actually broken, basically there was play between the spider and the cassette body, no amount of spacers would make that go away. I replaced it with a more convential Sunrace cassette and all is fine now.
