Rear Cogs Bent ?

[Trizz]

could it be?
today i put my bike on the stand and was makeing sure my rear deraler was aligned, and then i noticed my rear cogs moved horizantly from left to right, not alot but enough to notice,
i guess im going to the shop for them to check it out, but can anyone give me a heads up of what it could be.

Thanks

Uh, If you're seeing what I think you're seeing, they're supposed to be that way. they look like they "wiggle" when you spin them fast, but everything is tight (nothing actually moves) It's called "ramping" and it's to make them shift better.

yea they are tight and everything looks right thought they were bent or something.

If you are not getting skipping or popping when you ride, then it is prob. ok.

The teeth do kind of look a tiny bit bent normally. It's like Sar said.
