Warped rear hub/ bent axle?
Last year I built a nice set of wheels with Record hubs and NOS G40 rims. Now I’m used to some wobble in free wheels and cassettes and never worry about it too much, but this wheel has way more than I’ve ever experienced. I kind of wonder how it affects shifting; I cant say for sure to this point after a few rides. At any rate, I initially thought the threading on freewheel or hub was ****ered but on closer inspection I thought it was the hub and confirmed it today when I took off the freewheel. Curious what you folks think might have happened here. I’d had this hub a couple of years before I built it, don’t really remember where I got it. I’m sure I thought it was a good deal at the time. Luckily I have another hub to replace, so I’ll rebuild the wheel with that. The hub wobble is seen best in the last 10 seconds of the second video.
