Cassette issues

My Oval 330 wheels appear to have an issue,

standing over the bike on the drive side and looking down to where cassette ends and skewer meets frame and spinning the wheel and letting it free wheel, the cassette appears to wobble.

I have removed cassette, checked, cleaned, and replaced it on the wheel, tightened up etc and spun the wheel again and same thing ... everything is tight and there is now "play" in the cassette, wheel, or skewer...

Open to thoughts and suggestions

Take all the cogs off and rotate the freehub. If it moves out of alignment your problem is there. Try another cassette as well.

Correct .... would this be a warrantable offence ?? I.e. bike only 9 months old ...

Anyone had any experience with Fuji warranties :confused:
 
A lot of cassettes will wobble a little in my experience. Perhaps nothing to worry about. If it is excessive then you should look into it. "What is excessive?", I hear you ask. Well, if it affected shifting, or caused noticeable noise or chattering, then that would definitely be excessive. If it is imperceptible, other than when you watch it, then it might be just fine.
