Can I put this on a 7-speed bike without modifications? (I'd get new shifters of course)

You can probably get away with it. It will be a little tight, but I'd try it. No promises.

My understanding is you can convert down but not up. Here's what I mean, 10 speed cassette can be converted down to 9 or 8 possibly 7 and all you would need is a space for the freehub. Explanation:The freehub gets shorter in lenth to allow for bigger gears. So to put a 8 speed on your bike you would need to change your freehub. Are you converting bike to 8 speed? Or are you just keeping seven speed shifter and deraillier. If so just buy 7 speed cassette geared for the way you ride, it would keep things simple.

Wheel hubs, where you attach these, are generally made in two sizes: for 7 cogs or less, or for 8 and up. It probably won't fit. See Sheldon Brown's site for more than you ever wanted to know about bikes.

If there is a spacer on your cassette, meaning it takes up the room that an additional gear would take, then simply take that off and you can fit 8 speeds, if not, you'd be better off buying a new wheel. do bear in mind that the more you spend on a wheel, the less your going to need to true/maintain it!

This will not work with 7 speed. It's got narrower teeth, matching a 9-speed chain. Will not shift properly.

yes, just have the old 7 speed, i got this one for this wheel Shimano Tourney 7Spd 14-28T Freewheeland it should work perfectly as it has for me

It should adjust to fit BUT a lot depends upon your shifters, cables etc.... If you have thumb shifters I think it will work. I have seen a 7 speed Shimano click shifter work but of course it had to be adjusted to fit...I use new 6 speed twist shifters and cables when I work on a bike. For this job the time the old derailleurs will work most of the time.. It's not a big difference going from 5 to 6 speed but I don't think 7 is worth the trouble... I have stopped using this particular cassette and now use the 34 teeth low speed since our local area has some big hills......Good luck..

It depends on your chain, the brand and and how old that 7 speed cassette is. The width of chains have changed over time and just installing new gears can be problematic as a consequence of both the change in chain link sizes as well as the consequent changes in derailleurs. Hard to say. It will probably work in a pinch but the only way to be sure that your entire drivetrain works in harmony, you kinda need a complete set (cassette, chain, chainrings and sometimes even derailleurs and shifters if you're changing component generations).

I do believe your present bike is also a 7 speed as is the freewheel your giving thought to purchasing. A special tool is needed to remove the current freewheel from your wheel. Best option, take your wheel and your new gears (freewheel) to a bike shop. They'll swap them out for a few bucks. Check the chain length after you replace the wheel. That freewheel is a good. I bought one myself. Ride safe. Have fun !

You could if you're using it with an 8 speed shifter but I wouldn't advise it. In other words, the answer has to be no. The 7 and 8 speed cassettes have the same width, end to end, in order to fit the frame spacing. So, by definition, the spacing of the individual gears has to different and must be matched to their respective shifters. Does that make sense?

I am unsure of the different`s but you should be able to switch them out with out any problem. I switch out the stock shifters on my MTB cause the stock ones broke. I have to say these feel great in your hands plus they come with grips witch also feel great.

No you need a FreeWheel type sprocket 6,7,or 8 speed available here http://www.amazon.com/sprocket-bicycle-chain-complete-accessories/forum/Fx3UFVVOO3Q29FB/Tx2DIFYOFGFJTR6/1?_encoding=UTF8&asin;=B000AO9KUC&cdEmailView;=8b290b24-c1b7-4323-9388-0ac7910c1df6.Tx2DIFYOFGFJTR6&cdShowAnswer;=1&forceSignin;=1

NOt sure, I just have a seven speed beach cruiser, from what other reviewers state it can be done with an inexpensive fitting from a bike shop ?

This comes with 2 two sided threaded adapters that allow threading to 4 different sizes that will allow you to attach it to most threaded shifters. If you can take the old knob off your shifter and it has a threaded end it should work. If not you and you have a standard metal post you should be able to thread the end if you want to invest that amount of work

Yes, there are bolts on both sides that are used to secure the Shifter assembly. So it could be switched.D

not anymore. I complained to the seller and they sent me the upgraded shimano shifters that vilano.com shows, and also a cheap adjustable stem that was put together soo tight that no tool could loosen it to adjust the height.

As long as they are both 8 speed. So if you have a 8 speed cassette and and 8 speed derailuer than a sram 8 speed shifter will work.

Yes, I put a pair of Shimano Ultegra bar end shifters in like a charm. Just take the plastic caps off.

Yes it is. Been awhile since I put it on, but as I recall it was 7/8th except the center which is 1 inch. I put it on a mountain bike frame and wanted to use the grip shifters on it. The grip shifters are for 7/8th inch ends. So that should work for you.

No. But you don't need to do 8 as it comes with 2 small pieces of cork to apply on shifters. Works out perfectly.
