I'm looking for some help in diagnosing a problem I'm having with my rear cluster, a standard Shimano LX 9 speed cluster on an XT hub. I recently noticed it was loose while riding. Tightened the lockring and the cluster tightened up and the play went away. But then it quickly loosened again. Next time I sought technical assistance to make sure I got the lockring tight enough. Same problem. I removed a washer (or spacer), wondering if this was the culprit. But it still loosens up, typically after about 30 minutes of riding.
I am going to replace the lockring and washer to see if that's the problem. But I'm wondering if there are other possible problems I should be considering? Thanks.
