trek hybird gearing change
My wife has a trek 7100 hybird and loves the bike but hates the gears and shifters. Bike is a 21 speed and she wants gearing like my fuji nevada 24 speed. Can the trek 7100 be changed to 24 speed. I am a newbe at working on bikes but am learning.

Re: trek hybird gearing change
Can you post the link to her exact bike, I will need to check if it has a CS or MF 7 speed cassette on the back. There are different ranges in both types avaiable.
What type of shifter does she want? Rapid Fire, Twist Grip, Levers? These come in both 7 and 8 speed.

PM copy:
Quote:
If you can't get the Sunrace 7 speed, Shimano have a 7 speed 11-28 cassette. Consider tyres and pressures, Conti Sport/City Contact in 28-32mm at recomended pressure will help. Again, what are the shifters, the pix doesn't show? If twist grip, look for Shimano EF50 or EF29 7 speed Rapid Fire shifters.

Re: trek hybird gearing change
Some bikes require a more radical approach: http://www.cyclingforums.com/t363004.html
