decent 7 speed wheelset.

[L14M]

Hello people!

I want to get a decent wheelset chosen for my zelos. The problem is that its a 7 speed cassete. Most wheelsets state from 8 speed. Is there a way that i can fit my 7 speed cassete onto a 8 speed wheelset? E.g http://www.merlincycles.com/shimano-r501-wheels-49086.html I don't really want to run a 8 speed cassete. Unless there is a way to swap my rear tourney derailer for a 8 speed one.. Though that will mean the tourney shifters would need to be swapped :S

Any ideas?
Liam

You just need a spacer. Google 8 to 7 speed spacer.

Yes

You will most likely need two 3mm spacers if running 7 speed on a modern freehub. I certainly did on the three sets of Mavic wheels I have.
