Guys,

I just dropped the bike off at the LBS for the 100 mile tune-up ( havent been able to rid as much as I want due to rain) and asked them about an issue i noticed. The back casette is wobbly when i coast, to the point that the chain rubs against the front crank. They told me that is normal, but I have to question that as this is about 1/2 inch of wobble. Do you guys feel that is normal on a decent bike with a Shimano 105 cassette? If they dont ix it should I insist on a new cassette, or an entire new wheel assembly?
