I have a Bridgestone RB-T touring bike and I need to buy a new wheelset. I am looking at buying Mavic T519s and have read good things about them. I am trying to avoid custom built wheels because of the expense.
Trouble is, I have a 7sp cassette on there -- shimano hyperglide. I've got a shimano deore derailler, and bar end shifters.
Built wheelsets seem now only to come built for 8/9sp cassettes. Any trouble with putting my 7sp cassette on there? Is the spacing going to be the same, or are the 8 sp cassettes wider? Could I buy a new 8sp cassette and will my existing components work on it?
Any or all advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Josh
