I am putting these on 9-speed hubs. Does the cassette come with the shim recommended for such installations?

It does come with a shim. I did not use it, since I have a 10 speed hub. Good info here: http://www.slowtwitch.com/Tech/Cassette_How-To_-_Part_2_3257.html

I don't believe the cassette came with a shim... If you didn't use a shim on your 9 spd cassette, you probably wont need one for this.

The XT M770 hub is compatible with 8/9/10 speed cassettes, both Shimano and SRAM. I own the same wheel but using a SRAM PG970 9-Speed cassette.

The hub doesn't require any special tool. Your cassette will need a tool which will depend on the brand. Shimano/SRAM take one kind and Campagnolo another.

Yes. This is not a whole hub. If you have a 125 spaced shimano hub. This will replace the freehub body. You can run your 7 speed cassette on a modern hub however with a spacer. So really you only need this if your frame/wheel requires a 125mm spaced back end.

You have to install a rear gear cassette with the number of gears you wish to have. I installed an 8-gear cassette(Shimano) on my Trek. I think I read that these wheels accept up to 9 gear cassette with an adapter but I don't remember reading anything about a 10-gear cassette. I would call the company and ask.

Yes, this is the direct mount version and should work if you have the threaded hole in the rear frame for mounting. It should be compatible with any 6 or 7 speed freewheel/cassette assembly. This has a large adjustment range and it even works on my oddball UltraCruise rear assembly (took a little work though).

Works on my Shimano 9spd chain that I'm currently running on a Campy 8spd group. I'd say it'll work with SRAM.

The number of speeds of your cassette does not matter. What matters is the bottom bracket spacing which I don't see here.

It is my understanding that this kit is compatible with any modern, (1990 ish- present day) shimano freewheel hub. I have used this kit several times without issue. Thus far, the number of spacers provided have been enough, often with a spacer or two left over

I currently have this on my 8-speed bike with no problems. I purchased this along with an 8-speed chain and an 8-speed cassette (chain and cassette were made by SRAM). I'm very satisfied with it.

Cassettes slide onto freewheel hubs. Freewheels like this screw onto fixed hubs that have threads on them. This includes the cogs/sprockets and the freewheel. If your hub has a built-in freewheel, this won't work.

No. This product is made for cassette hubs only. That is, a hub with the freehub mechanism attached by spline, sold as one unit. The cassette slides onto this type of hub and connects with a lockring. What I believe you are looking for is a multispeed freewheel, which is an older style unit integrating cogs and freewheel ratcheting mechanism. This type of unit screws tightly onto the threads of the matching freewheel hub and stays put until it is pulled with a splined or toothed freewheel remover. The two systems are not interchangeable. Search instead for a "7 speed freewheel". Hope this helps.

Hi, I had a 10 speed Shimano cassette mounted on this wheel, and it fit without issue.

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

It will work and as long as it is a chain of the same width (speed) then you shouldn't notice it in terms of smoothness when shifting or pedalling. I have used these on both SRAM and Shimano chains. It will also work in a pinch for chains of other speeds (since these links are wider than 9/10speed chains) but you would notice it in the pedal stroke and while shifting.

Get the ones with abs regardless of thread pitch. That way, even if you don't have front abs, you have a port you can stuff grease into. It really helps that axle needle bearing from wearing out. If the thread pitch is different, knock out your old studs and put them into the new hub. That's what I did and it took less than ten minutes. Plus I think the fine thread hubs were cheaper for some reason. Best of luck!

No. I believe you need to buy Shimano. Or ones compatible with shimano. These are only SRAM
