Considering a Shimano 7 Speed internal geared hub for a project and I have some questions:
1) On Sheldon's site, he says the hubs are 130mm in one place
http://www.sheldonbrown.com/nexus-mech.html#upgrade
then lists them at 135 in another.
http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/shimano-nexus.html#sprockets
Which one's right?
2) I see Sheldon also sells the 7 speed shifter for these, I though that was included? Is the cable
pull of the shifter compatible with 'old' Shimano 7 speed rapid fire shifters, or do you have to
use the Nexus shifter?
3) What's a recommended rim for these hubs (700C) or will anything work fine?
Thx.
