Odyssey Clutch wobble

[Horror Contact]

There was an old thread here- http://www.bikeguide.org/forum/index.php/topic,221108.0.html

Was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and if so, has anyone figured a way to correct or what may be causing the issue?

I got a replacement through warranty but that hub also had the wobble.  I just ignore the wobble now because life goes on.  Overall the hub is sick but was never able to figure out why there's a slight wobble

There shouldn't be a wobble. Make sure you have the bolts fully tight first. If your spokes are super super super tight, then you can try letting them back to a more reasonable tension. Otherwise try to narrow down where the problem is a little more.

Sigh.... So were pulling the user install error card again. Read about this problem elsewhere, and slack adjusters exploding/straight not holding slack adjustment. But Jim Bauer and Nuno swore you had the best bike parts on the planet, what gives? My marmoset wobbles and ratchet skips, no more odyssey/gsport shit on this dudes bike.

My Marmoset developed a wobble after a few years, so I replaced an axle collar and the bearings. My Ratchet skipped, so I took out the driver, cleaned the pawls, spring and engagementring. No reason to start buying new parts and bash on gsport. Quality parts also need maintenance every now and again.

Two clutch hubs with wobble that had a few days of riding on em...I'm not replacing shit and shouldn't have to.  Spoke tension is fine and both wheels built by a shop

That's special, I replaced axle, bearings and collars and it got worse. I take apart the ratchet all the damn time and triflow it, still skips. How do you explain all the no name Taiwan hubs I've had that ran perfectly without a teardown for a year plus. First hub I ever had that skipped was an odyssey v2 coincidently.

And like dude said above, I shouldn't have to do shit to them, I paid full price on release of the ratchet and empire laced it, should I have to pay more for it to work? Also, who wants to run a floppy donkey dick loose spoked wheel. Shadow Conspiracy wheels don't even do that shit.

And really, I know how to work on my damn bike

My shadow wheels are dope!

The gsport and odyssey hubs I've had in the past were not as nice despite being virtually the same fucking design as the shadow hubs I've got now.

I certainly don't have anything against shadow, just seems like most around here have a less than favorable view of their stuff, which makes it all the more lol.

Really wanted a clutch but they sold out too fast. Friends that got them had issues with them so decided against it and got the Salt, very good hub. Ran gsport marmoset and ratchet before. Both hubs ran super smooth and were super strong, but the ratchet drivers were aweful. Ran four of them over the years. Kept breaking and they would come loose. Had to mod them to work

I noticed that when I pull on the chain to make it tighter, seems like the wobble is much less.  But should that really make a difference as to how tight or loose the chain is?

Well, having the chain tight probably causes the driver to deflect in relation to the axle,  preloading the wobble, making it seem like its wobbling less.

I have a little wobble in my clutch, but whats worse is random engagement doing backward peg wheelies.  I can do a full back pedal, to ensure everything is full disengaged and then go into a backwards peg wheelie.  After rolling for about 10 feet the hub will enage for no apparent reason and the cranks start spinning.
