is this for a 9-speed or an 8-speed cassette?

This for a 2x8, you can see the instructions on Shimano: http://techdocs.shimano.com/media/techdocs/content/cycle/SI/2300/SI_6SF0A_001/SI-6SF0A-002-ENG_v1_m56577569830683910.pdf

The rear cassette or freewheel will have seven gears. Then you are ok. However it sounds like you have 8 gears in the rear so you will need one with one more shift line.

I don't know -- but the Alex R450 is compatible with 8-speed Shimano cassettes. I am using it with a 7-speed cassette and a spacer.

Free hub. Any octagonal cassette tool works fine w/ it. If I'm not wrong it fits 8 through 10 speed cassettes....

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 is for 8 or 9 speeds-with the long cage you dont have to take off too many chain links-works perfectly on my 8 speed drivetrain

I feel sure that it will work. I believe the Diamondback we put it on was a 11-36T 8 speed cassette.

I am currently running this crankset with a 9 SPD cassette and chain with no problems.

According to the package it will work on 7 and 8 speed derailleur chains. It does not differentiate between companies. I carry it but haven't had to use it yet

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

It will accept any standard cassette, a six speed cassette will be a bit narrower than an standard 8 speed but there should be shims to take up the space. The rims are nice and a lot lighter than the ones that came on my bike. I also fitted them with big apple tires, which are belted and puncture resistant and the ride is nothing short of amazing. I think the wheels are a good value.

No spacer needed for 8 or 9 speed. A spacer is needed to run a 7speed cassette.

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

You can always fit a cassette on a hub that excepts larger just have to have the correct spacer and i believe the 8 cassete comes with it.

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.

I've not attempted to add and 11 speed cassette to this wheelset, so I'm not fully sure if it'd fit. However, all you have to do if measure the dimensions of the cassette against a shimano 8 speed cassette. If it's the same, it should fit. If it's smaller, you may need a spacer.

Yeah the tooth profile will fit both 9 spd and 10 spd. I am running a 1X10 set up with a shimano chain currently on my Trek Remedy
