I have had a set of HED-3s for a couple years. Over that time swapped out the different rear cassettes and haven't experienced an issue like you described.

yep it's normal, when i first got mine it freaked me out but the gut i got them off said it's to allow for the fact that the wheels cant be trued. So when the wheel is out of true and rotating the cassette is still in line with the dérailleur and such, also you don't loose any power output from the chain slipping all over the cassette.

Yep, same here. Called Hed and they told me exactly what Iron Man stated. You can have the rear re-shimmed ($20) if you think you need it, but if they are new the wobble is normal, so just hammer away.
I have recently purchased a set of HED 3Cs. I notice on the rear wheel that when I stop pedalling the cassette seems to look like its "wobbling" for want of a better way to descibe it. The cassette is fitted properly and the HUB looks very well put together. This doesn't seem to affect the performance at all. I can't notice anything when its running, no noises, no loose feel. I thought it might be a characteristic of these types of wheels.
Anyone else who has used HED 3Cs have sojme feedback for me?
