I'm in the midst of upgrading a beater bike with 105 on it. It has
1990-era "New" 105 components on it (7 speed). I was originally
thinking about moving it up to 9 speed, but now think 8 speed will do
just fine. It is currenty on a frame spaced for 126mm, but I will be
moving it to another beater frame spaced for 130mm. I have a new 105
rear hub/freewheel assembly for 8 speed (spaced for 130 as well).
Given the increase in spacing, will my older 7 speed derailer work for
8 speed as well?
I'll be getting new shifters as well, but is there anything else I
need to be considering?
