...quick question.. can this be fitted to a 7 speed hub? there appears to be a number of spacers but is the actual cassette fitting the same?

    fitting the same but not as long. less spacers needed. if it is a 2 spacer kit then it will be too big.

  • aaaah.. right.. so the way the actual . 'cassette' engages is the same but there may be an issue with the spacer width? the pack I looked at had a chain tensioner and a set of spacers.. I'm assuming you get a couple of spacers to allow different fits?

    Ok lets look at it the other way. Fitting a 7 spd cassette to a 8/9spd hub.

    Fits fine but you need to add a 4.5mm spacer before the cassette or it would move about.
