ATB New Cassette Question
I am upgrading all the components on my ATB to XT components. I ordered
a new 9-speed M-750 cassette. My question is, do I have to put a new rear hub on the bike as well made specially for the 9-speed or will the 9-speed cassette work with my current hub (which has always had a 7-speed cassette on it)? Thanks. - Noel |

Thanks. > - Noel You will need a new Cassette body that is 8/9 speed compatible. http://sheldonbrown.com/k7.html is an article that should help. The 8/9 speed cassette body comes on a new 8/9 speed compatible hub, but if your existing wheel is in good shape, the cassette body swap may be quite practicle. -- |

Thanks. Only 8 of the 9 cogs will fit on your 7 speed hub. That's a fine setup if you don't mind only running 8 cogs. There's no special technique required, just set the derailer limit screws properly. -- Rick Onanian |
