Forgive me for the simple question. We are in the middle of nowhere in Vietnam. No bike mechanic to run to.

Thanks
Jiggling is not normal, but on the other hand, a little jiggle is not the end of the world.

Is the movement front-back or side-side? Most lockrings need to be tightened to ~30 ft-lb of torque. I had a cassette that jiggled side to side, and the problem was the freehub was shot.
