im just asking here , is it normal for the rear sprocket to have some movement ? . Because as I was cleaning it on Sunday after a winter tucked away , I felt it move on the carrier . I've not looked in books yet but thought I'd ask here first. This was after a very harsh recalibration of my senses :0) . Best described as fast and bumpy.
Yeah it's normal for the sprocket/carrier combo to have a bit of lateral play (in & out) but it shouldn't be "sloppy"
