Before hopping back on the bike I spun the wheel, and noticed that the cassette was wobbly. WTF? Forgive what may seem like a dumb question, but, well, does that mean the cassette is, erm, loose? Could it have come loose over a half hour of "rough" pedalling as described in this thread? Is there a chance the guys at the shop never tightened it properly (negligence on their part being extremely likely in my experience)?
Would anyone happen to have any ideas?
I'm betting that the shop put your 7 speed cassette on an 8/9 speed freehub and didn't install a conversion spacer which makes this work. If the wheel you bought is an up to date model, it will almost certainly have the 8/9 speed freehub body. If the cassette is loose, take it back to the shop. They need to make it right.
