Excited about my new wheels, I went ahead and changed my freewheel cassette over to my new Williams 25 Disc wheel. Installed everything, and took it for a short spin. However, something didn’t feel or sound right (like a little clicking).
Upon further inspection, I found the cogs were loose. So I tightened the lock ring further, but still too much free play. So I transferred the cassette back to the old wheel, and it’s as snug as can be. Put it back over, and the same problem. After an hour of really close inspection, I looked at the old wheel, and in the back of the freewheel, I found a really tiny spacer (one that you couldn’t tell unless you inspect it really closely). I transferred that little spacer over, and now the cassette is as snug as can be.
Luckily I inspected this closely before going on my turkey day spin. Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
