Help! Rear Sprocket Wobble / Alignment was created by Andy_911
Is this amount of wobble on the rear sprocket bad? It doesn’t look good to me. Is there a fix?
thank you.

That's interesting. I slowed it to .25 speed & almost feel the sprocket is bent plus the movement on the carrier. I'll take a guess & say--i think the carrier is worn on the hub as usual, & hub extension worn too. So i think the cush rubbers might not be right into place so it's lifting the carrier at an angle & tilting it on the worn parts. The bent sprocke is accentuating the wobble.

I'm glad it wasn't just me.. Sprocket definitely looks bent but couldn't tell if it was an optical illusion.

Thank you for your help. I have installed a new sprocket which has made no difference. I’ve taken a new video which shows the sprocket carrier is sitting unevenly on the hub. So looks like worn carrier and hub issue described by @RT325. If I take the c-clip off and try to remove the sprocket carrier it won’t slide past the hub extension.
So is this fixable or is my rear wheel junk?

The hub extension circlip has made a ridge from constant pushing of the carrier. Run a hand file around & the carrier will come off. Then decide what to do next.

I think i'm talking rubbish but is there no chance of a wheel bearing falling to buts & causing extra gyration from balls moving around to one side. Na don't even go there.
Video i'm trying to replay multiple times quickly but getting mesmerized. Once removed all will be revealed.

Many thanks for your help RT325 - I did the hand file, worked a treat, couldn't work out why the carrier wasn't sitting even on the cush. Rotated the carrier 180 degrees and now sits perfectly even.
