Can this be used with an 8 speed to make my mountain bike a 1x8 Drivetrain? Thanks

With a 9 speed chain, probably. It would not know the difference and 1x9 works fine in my experience. But instead of subjective answers, email race face :-)

Don't see any reason why not. As long as your cranks are sized for the 104mm spacing.

I am currently running this setup:RaceFace NW 32t up front.Deore 8 sp drSLX 11-34t CassetteShimano 8sp chain.Not a single dropped chain since I put the NW on.

Currently in using with a 7 speed. It works like a charm. Easy to install. I would imagine you can use the 8 speed cassette in combination with no issue. Hope this helps

Yes, the limit screws can be set for an 8 speed rear cassette. The 3 front won't be affected by this.

I have personally put this clutch on a 6 1/2 hp brigggs motor and it proved to be not strong enough to hold the mini bike still. I would recommend a torque converter for an 8 hp motor. Just my experience.

Hi,Thanks for the question. I can't seem to get many specs on your bikes but it looks like it should fit. As long as you have an 1 1/8" steerer this fork will work as a direct replacement for your fork.Thanks

I assume you mean your shifters only have 7 positions. With an 8 cog cassette you would set the the limits of the shifters to leave out either the smallest or biggest cog, i.e. you will be able to shift to 7 of the 8 cogs. But, you would be better off just using a 7 speed cassette.

This will work with any chain that has 1" links,which is about 99.9 % of the chains in common use. (To be certain, just measure your chain from the center the of pin on one end of one link to the center of the pin on other end.) The number of gears is irrelevant: I've used it on 6, 8 and 10 speed chains (all Shimano). This is an excellent tool, by the way.

The wheels I got accepted only mountain bike style cassettes. Not sure what you have there. Mine is a 7 speed.

Yes. I am currently using a 7 speed cassette on this hub. However you will need a spacer as the width of the 7 speed cassette is not the same as the 8 speed cassette.

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.

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.

Nearly postive that it won't. I tend to believe most all 10 speed componets are just specific to 10 speed since their chain is thinner than a 9 speed. I do know a 9 speed crankset will work with an 8 speed and vice versa. Ask (google) Sheldon Brown

i think it will not work with the 8 speed cassette. its better if you buy an specific for 8 speed

It should as it is an 8 speed derailleur. Check with your local buike shop to be 100% sure

I would replace it with exactly what's on it now. The 8 speed might fit but then you would need everything else to be compatible.

My chain rings are 22,32,42 and I find I can go anywhere I want with my 8-speed 32-12, which is no longer made. You may find it on eBay. By the way, if you have a rear wheel with an 8-speed cassette, you can use a 7-speed cassette with a spacer to replace the spot where first gear usually is. Sometimes the 7-speed cassette will have rivets that stick out but they can be ground flat and work fine. All my bikes have 8-speed hubs, so I can use either 8-speed or 7-speed with the spacer. I don't like 9-speed and up because of the narrower chain.

Yes, I believe you can. What is important is the length of the cage. A short cage as in most of todays road bikes probably won't work, but a long cage as in most of todays mountain and hybrid bikes should. The length of the cage allows it to shift up onto that big sprocket. Good luck
