Will a 7 speed Shimano cassette fit on the back wheel?

Yes it definitely should fit, same as any other cassette rear wheel make sure you order the one that saysFreewheel only and not a cruiser wheel. Hope this helps

I believe the photo is errant. What I received was a 7 speed. You definitely don't want to substitute an 8 speed on a 7 speed application. You'd have too much slack in the shifter cable (in position 8 on shifter) even if you adjusted the deraileur stops to avoid the chain falling off, and an annoying dead spot gathering up that slack when shifting back into the lower gears.

I dont see why not. I use a 9 speed cassette and wheels compatible with 9 speed cassettes are compatible with 8 speed cassettes.

it depends if you have a 3 sprocket cassette on the front by the pedals and a 7 sprocket cassette on the rear wheel. if not then no these will not work. you also need to have shimano deraileurs. its the part that moves the chain to switch gears at the sprockets.

I used 8 speed cassette, I did not install 7 speed cassette, I know it will fit, sorry I do not know too much about cassette, I am familiar with cluster for over 40 years.

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

Yes, you just won't be able to shift to either the biggest or smallest cog, depending on how you set your limits. But why not just use a 7 speed cassette?

The box states it will, I have only installed it on 7 speed bikes, but my impression is should work fine on a 8 speed also. Easy to install once you use a chain tool to get it at the correct length

As long as you have a Shimano deraileur it should work. Make sure you get the 7-speed set for a 21-speed (3 front/7 rear)

No. Chain will be too wide for the spacing in between the cogs on the cassette. You will need a 9 speed specific chain

Yes as long as you use a 7 speed shimano gear selector and your bike has a freewheel hub.

If the master link is designed for a 7 speed bike it is more than likely it will fit. Keep in mind there are master links of similar design but for different speed bikes, A lot depends on the diameter and length of the connecting pin.

The shifter I purchased was model TX30-7R for 7-disk free wheels (see photo to left). My shifter has 7 "gears". I imagine Shimano sells a 6 position shifter, too. Was that the model you saw? Mike

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.

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..

Sorry, mine was bent so I sent it back, it looked like it would fit any modern 5-7 speed freewheel(like a shimano) though, just threads on.

Yes . Thats what the "2x7" means.....2 chain rings in front and 7 cogs on the rear cassette. If you are up grading a 2 x 7 , this will work.
