I am selling a couple of pairs of Mavic wheels, Equipe and Elite, and have some one interested in both sets, but he only has 7 speed on his bike.

I know that the freehub is ok for 9 and 10 speed cassttes, but what about 7 speed?

Can any one advise me please?

Of course it would have helped greatly if he had a spare 7 sp cassette to try......oh, if only life was that easy!

    The splines on a 7 speed cassette are different from 9/10 speed - the only way to make it work would be to respace the sprockets on a 9/10 speed cassette. Your LBS will probably be able to help with those - dismantling an old cassette or Highpath Engineering have info on their website and sell spacers too.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    If this helps.
    I have just removed a 7 speed from a wheel and fitted a 9 speed to it, I had to remove 1 of the sprockets to make it narrow enough to go on. It may need a spacer behind the 7 speed cassette to enable ti to be fitted.
