Will the freehub on this wheel fit a standard 8-speed cassette? My current rear wheel has a Shimano XTR 8-speed?

Yes,it will accept shimano 8,9,and10 speed cassettes.If your cassette is Hyperglide C,you will need a 1 mm spacer to make it work.

I used a 7 speed cassette on mine. I had to adjust the spacing on the axle. I took the old axle spacers from my old rim and transferred them over.

It will, but not as well as you think. A 6 speed freewheel has a larger cog distance from the next one, and a 7 speed freewheel/cassette is much closer. However, there are alternatives you can buy (Shimano Revo Shift 6 speed or SRAM MRX Comp 6 speed) that will match performance well. Also, when you get the indexing and limits correct, give the shift cable a good stretch, then readjust the indexing if necessary. This stretches the cable before leading to future shifting problems. As for the front, it will work perfectly.

If your rear hub is threaded and you had spacers to align the freewheel to the front chainring it would work, but it would also have to be the same thread, so you'd have to measure the diameter.

Check this link, which depicts a compatible freewheel: Shimano Tourney 7Spd 14-28T Freewheel

You'd probably want this one instead:Sta-Tru Silver Alloy Road 8-9-10 Speed Cassette Hub Rear Wheel (700X25)

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..

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!

No. You have a freewheel, not a cassette style hub. It will be a 3 or 4 prong or shimano-style freewheel tool. Since the replacement will most likely need a different tool, I'd suggest just paying you're local shop $10 to remove.

Yes it will. The pull ratio is not 1:1-- this has the same ratio as all older Shimano ders. The only problem you might have is if you run a slightly wider chain through it. I don't think it will jam up or anything crazy like that, but you might get a little rubbing on the cage as the chain deflection increases (i.e. while you're cross chained). Just run a 9-speed chain and you'll be completely okay. Again, not that the 8-speed chain is going to lead to a catastrophe. Shimano did change their pull ratio when they moved their mountain drive trains to 10-speed. This is a little annoying, but at least there are more modern 9-speed options available (10-speed road ders will still work on lower-speed mountain drivetrains, though. I'm running a 10-speed 105 der on a 7 speed drive train with an indexed shifter :) ).

What you have is actually an 8 speed (3x8). The ST-070 will not work for you.Ileana

chris, i bought a Shimano HG51 8-Speed Cassette (11-28T)--just fits my frame. it has presta size valve holes. be sure to measure your rear spacing before putting on too many gears; i believe its has the std 130mm spacing. the tires were Vittoria Zaffiro II Wire (Black, 700 x 23). great wheelset for the money!!

With the exception of BMX bikes, children's bikes, and bikes with a freehub instead of a freewheel, it should fit. If you want to get really technical, this website will help: sheldonbrown.com/freewheels.html In my experience freewheel size has been very well standardized. If you really want to make sure take it to a bike shop.

I put a 7 speed freewheel on this wheel and it works great. 6 will work too. I am assuming you have the old 27 inch, 126mm hub config like most road bikes of the 1970s and 1980s.

The wheels will work,you'll have to by a cassette type rear gear,you could upgrade your rear derailleur and put 8 gears on it. There's only 24 spokes,I weigh 223 so the verdict is out for awhile,they're true and strong with the tubular type rims,you might have a little trouble inflating the tires since the rims are deep so the shrader valve barley peeps out,push the valve through and screw the cap on or you'll have problems finding it.

Yes size is standard and fits on older 80's bikes but make sure you get the relevant style for the freewheel mounting.You will need to specify either the older style thread-on freewheel version or the newer freehub style.

Yes, the wheel was trued when arrived. Yes, that freewheel will fit. Depending on the width of your rear triangle, you may have to add a spacer or two.
