The Hex hub has been great, I agree it is a fantastic value.
Wobble is on the i9 hub. Misaligned freehub is my suspicion, could be slightly bent axle, bad bearing or something else, but it manifests as the cassette moves side to side as it spins despite being tightened properly and without play. This causes shifting to become quite difficult to setup. I have tried multiple cassettes on multiple different wheels and all cassettes have more wobble on this hub than any other hub. Its not bad enough to scrap the hub, but certain cassettes seem to play a bit nicer and allow shifting to function properly while others.
