Suntour - shimano 7 sp cassette fitting

That's given me a chuckle ^

No offence, but when you think about it seems impossible that an adaptor could even exist. I could be wrong but the freehubs are quite similar diameter on shimano and suntour so there is hardly any space to make an adaptor to fit between the different splines.

Good luck with your wheel build.

regarding the adapter I was thinking that you may be able to get a shimano outer splined freehub where the inner splines would match a suntour wheel hub. I even toyed with the idea of taking apart a suntour and shimano freehub and swapping the outer parts with the splines but I thought that this would be a long shot and have not compered the freehubs. I might just do but it would be a stoke of luck if they swapped over!

I see what you mean now
I'm sure I read that someone on here tried the freehub swap idea before, and its a no go I'm afraid. You see suntour xc-pro and comp hubs pop up on the for sale section, so if sticking with suntour then I'd go that route and get a wheel built around a new hub.
The alternative is a wheel with a shimano hub, a shimano cassette, shimano shifters and probably shimano rear mech too.
