Wiggle/play in cassette?
I got new (to me) wheels. Old wheels have Ritchey hubs. New wheels have Dura Ace 7700 hubs. I move the 10-speed cassette from old hub to new hub, along with the thin spacer that goes on before the cassette. After tightening the lock ring, there is a very slight bit of play in the cassette. If I grab each side of the largest cog I can sort of torque it each way a tiny, tiny bit. It doesn't feel solid like I think it should.
Should I just get another spacer? I've read that a 1mm spacer is what is needed. Is it possible the Ritchey hubs are non-standard and came with a spacer that's less than 1mm?

If those are 11 speed hubs, you need an additional spacer.

The Dura Ace 7700 hub and the Ritchey hub are both 10-speed hubs. The cassette is 10 speed also.

If the lock ring is bottoming on the hub and not the cassette you need an additional spacer regardless of what it is "supposed" to have.

I removed the cassette and I think the freehub body has a tiny bit of play so maybe that's it. Is it ok to ride or is that something that will do further damage if not addressed?
