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.

That should work out fine. Just be sure to get the hub with the coaster (back pedal) brake. I assume that you are getting a complete wheel but if you are building a wheel you'll need new spokes since the hub diameter of the 8 speed is much larger than the 3 speed.

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

Yes. A 7-speed & 8-speed have the exact same amount of spacing between sprockets. The only thing is that one of the gears on your shifter won't be used for anything. If it were the other way around, then you would not be able to shift to one of your eight gears with a 7 speed shifter.

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

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.

I haven't used it with an 8-sp chain but I would think it'd work. It may not shift quite as smoothly as a 9, though. And, it may be a little tougher to set the limits just right. But I'd buy it if I had an 8-sp.

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

The bike shop snobs will tell you nothing will work unless you get it from them. If you have a fixed hanger on your bike it will work on a mountain bike or hybrid. As long as you you have 7 or 8 speeds

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

Yes it will work. If you change to a 9 or 10 speed you would need derailleur.

I put that crankset on my hybrid which was set up for a 48. Using a 48 on your bike will require moving your front derailler up some and it is possible that your rear derailler won't have the capacity ( length of the derailler arm) for the larger gear. However it possible to change the ring gears on most crank sets and you could use your old 42 gear. I'm not sure about this but 8 speed set ups might not have compatible gear teeth with 9 speed crank sets.

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

Katie,I am not quite sure what you are asking, but I did use this on one of my existing road bikes. It was a fairly simple process, if you have the right tools. I have not had any problem with the cassette since my purchase. Now, whether or not this could be used on a mountain bike I don't see why it couldn't. The main distinction between road and mountain bike are in the crank (what your pedals fit to ). Mountain bike cranks tend to be much smaller. Let me know if this clears things up for you.

It should, I used it for MTB single speed conversion. At the time and still might be, it was marked as free return, for the price it's great too. Good luck.

Yes. Although made for 9 speed IG chain, these cranksets will work with either 8 speed HG(hyperglide) or IG style chain.

It should work with any 7 speed setup. I believe the width of the chain and spacing of the gears is what matters.
