Shimano 600 rd & Dura Ace 7 speed free wheel? Will the indexing still work?

Mr Weirdo · Wednesday at 17:34

Hello

Will a Shimano 600 rd 6208 work with a Dura Ace mf 7400 7 speed free wheel?

In friction mode I believe the answer is yes but in index I don't know?

Many thanks!

The indexing will surely depend on the shifter. I'm saying if you have an appropriate 7 speed shifter it will work.

Of course I'm such a plonker!...I will check what shifters I have in my shed. I have Shimano 600 shifters but I'm not sure what type as in 6 or 7 and that's assuming they made 7. Will check, thanks WJ

Of no use whatsoever, I'm currently using a Suntour GT mech, 600 5spd freewheel and some 105 downtube shifters and it all indexes lovely

Can your Suntour GT mech index? I thought it would only work in friction mode?

the Suntour mech moves the same amount as a shimano mech

IIRC, things get weird with Dura Ace 8 sp, but lots of compatibility otherwise. I’m using 7 spd shimano 600 shifters & 6208 RD and a campag freewheel.

Have a browse with Sheldon
