1. Can Shimano 7-speed HG sprockets be fitted to Shimano 8/9sp hubs? Spline patterns compatible? (I
know respaced 8sp sprockets can be used for 7sp spacing, BTW).
2. What is the spacer size required to fit behind a 7sp cassette on the latest 8/9sp hubs? 3.5mm?
4.7mm? ...or something in between or anything in between? I realise there will be some leeway in
practice but it would be useful to have the correct figure as a starting point. My confusion
stems from the fact that Shimano 8 and 9sp cassette are slightly different in width yet
apparently they fit on the same hubs.
3. Are there any other complications with this procedure?
thank you
