    Shimano wheel throughout. R560, which I think was around ultegra level a few years ago.

    About 1.5 years ago, the LBS tried to tinker with it when they first noticed a little bit of wobble when inspecting the bike for me after a mild crash. The verdict from them was that the freehub didn't need replaced.

    How do you tighten the freehub? (just curious...I don't have the tools, but I may be able to get them from a friend)

    Cassette wobble

    A 10mm allen wrench will remove or tighten....more than likely it will be something that you will need to replace.Good luck!

    You have to remove the axle to fit the 10 mm allen inside the freehub and tighten it.
    Oil is good, grease is better.
