Cassette Spacer ???

[clubster]

i picked up a 94 trek 830 the other day and its a tidy old bike bar the wheels were finished so i have popped a set of alex rims on it but the rear hub is for a 8 speed cassette :? i spotted on evilbay some people selling a spacer to convert 8 speed hubs to take a 7 speed cassette. just wondering if anyone has used one and are they ok ???

Make sure the cassette isn't pushed too far over though, you will need sufficient thread for the locking not to shred the threads.....
