Fitting Cassette?

[Azonic DS1]

I may have made a schoolboy error, just tried fitting a 7 speed cassette to a new rear wheel and have been left with a gap, am i going to have to get a 9 speed cassette for this wheel, or am i doing it wrong?

you've got yourself a 8/9 spd freehub with a 7spd cassette

spacers man, spacers!

just make sure you dont overshift!

Dam it, the spacer go on before the cassette (near the hub)?

yes.

Cool, do these spacers come in different sizes?

You'll find them in CRC etc.
Alternatively a spacer out of an old 8 speed cassette does the job perfectly.

 

[legrandefromage]

yes and in pretty colours too.

Yellow grip shift perchance? If I find an 8spd body I'll post it on as the the yellow grips are interchangeable.
