The listing says 7 speed, yet the picture shows 8 speed. Does it work on a 7 speed system?

I'm almost positive I installed this on a seven speed bike. It's been a while and it was not my bike.

I believe the photo is errant. What I received was a 7 speed. You definitely don't want to substitute an 8 speed on a 7 speed application. You'd have too much slack in the shifter cable (in position 8 on shifter) even if you adjusted the deraileur stops to avoid the chain falling off, and an annoying dead spot gathering up that slack when shifting back into the lower gears.

It should be... Most hyper glide chains are compatible with 7/8 speeds. Cheers!

You could if you're using it with an 8 speed shifter but I wouldn't advise it. In other words, the answer has to be no. The 7 and 8 speed cassettes have the same width, end to end, in order to fit the frame spacing. So, by definition, the spacing of the individual gears has to different and must be matched to their respective shifters. Does that make sense?

Yes and it works with 8 too. This wheel is the best set Ive ever had. And Ive had it for going on 5 years with HEAVY usage. Still works like new. This will be the best wheel investment you will ever make.

Hi , this model is designed for 10 speed but somebody told me that could work on a 9 speed , you should better ask your mechanic.

7 -8 is fine, "my setup i add small 32t Chainring and work great for my speed bike.

yes,this will work on an 8 speed sram chain. I have used it myself and it works just great.

yes it plays all three speeds, you press both speed buttons at once to get 78 speed.

This will not work with 7 speed. It's got narrower teeth, matching a 9-speed chain. Will not shift properly.

So the distance between a 5, 6, and 7 speed freewheel/cassette is different. The less cogs, the more distance. Most likely this will not work well with a 5 speed indexed freewheel. There are 5 speed shift mechanisms out there, just search up for them.

It is neither, it is a 14 speed. There are two chain rings in front and 7 cogs in the back. You shift the chain from side to side which gives you a total of 14 speeds. It is probably easier to think of it as having two ranges of gears, a high and a low range which you select by shifting the chain between the two front chain rings. You then have 7 speeds within each of these two ranges selected by shifting the chain side to side on the rear 7 cogs. Hope this helps! Bill

I am sorry but, I am by no means an expert on bicycle components, and cannot say. What I can say is that this is a seven way rear controller and a simple friction controller for the three way front. My suggestion would be to find a six speed rear controller.

It certainly looks as though it would. Both are 7-speed freewheels of the same overall range. There might be some minor differences in the between cogs, but nothing that should prevent it from working well.

The problem isn't so much the seven speed cassette it's your rear drop out width. When road bikes went to 8 speeds the width was increased and is the standard today. An older seven speed frame has to be adjusted as in bent open to accept the newer wheel width.

What you have is actually an 8 speed (3x8). The ST-070 will not work for you.Ileana

My understanding is you can convert down but not up. Here's what I mean, 10 speed cassette can be converted down to 9 or 8 possibly 7 and all you would need is a space for the freehub. Explanation:The freehub gets shorter in lenth to allow for bigger gears. So to put a 8 speed on your bike you would need to change your freehub. Are you converting bike to 8 speed? Or are you just keeping seven speed shifter and deraillier. If so just buy 7 speed cassette geared for the way you ride, it would keep things simple.

I dont see why not. I use a 9 speed cassette and wheels compatible with 9 speed cassettes are compatible with 8 speed cassettes.
