Hi all,
I am using a Carrera TDF to upgrade/learn about all things bike. A bit like many years ago when I would take my MK1 Escort apart sometimes to repair sometimes for fun and learning.
Today I discovered the difference between freewheel and cassette. My question is I have a 7 speed freewheel back wheel. The gap on the drop outs is 130mm. Can I buy a 10 speed cassette rear wheel to fit straight in?
I am changing the chainset to a 48/34 and bottom bracket from a taper seat to the appropriate BB then derailleurs probably
Many more questions to come over the weeks ahead.
Thanks
Curlycomber
