Outer cog wobble. SRAM cassette
I recently installed a SRAM 12-26 9 speed cassette on my mountain bike. I have replaced several cassettes on this wheel and it seems like every time I get this problem. The outer couple of cassettes seem to wobble something fierce.
The wheel is mavic and I am using an old cog as a spacer behind the cassette. The inner cassettes seem fine but it is the outside that has this issue. Does anyone know what could repeatedly cause this on the same wheel?
Here is the video link if not working: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOipLhkdZGA

Can you post a detailed picture of your freehub body's splines?

Doesn't look like you're keying the outermost cog to the splines on the freehub body correctly. It'll partially seat in most any orientation, but it will only seat properly in one.

Does it need the spacer? normally 9 speed cassettes don't, and SRAM cassettes don't ship with them. They are normally only needed for Shimano 10 speed.
You say the wheel is a Mavic, is this the rim, of the whole wheel? Mavic factory wheels like the Crossride need a spacer, but this comes with the wheel, not the cassette.
If a cog is being used as a spacer, and is not needed, is the lock ring screwed in, or are there threads showing?
