New Cassette is loose
I am putting a new cassette on my wheel.
the wheel is a Mavic Ksyrium Elite, and the cassette is a Shimano Ultegra CS6600 12-27.
The Cassette came with two very thin spacers, one that goes before the largest cog, and one that is right under the lock ring.
I have both of those in place.
when I took the old cassette off, it seemed like, (but I am not 100% certain) there was another spacer behind the largest cog. this one is quite thick - maybe 1.5mm, and looks just like the spacers that go between the cogs - it has the same teeth to engage the spindle (or whatever it is called).
I was not aware that there was ever a need for a thick spacer like that, and the Shimano documents don't show one.
Should I just use that spacer anyway?
Is there something else going on?
The cassette is quite loose - if i shake the wheel, I can hear all the cogs jingling....
