Is is 8 speed compatible

Yes. It comes with a variety of spacers and it took me and a buddy a few attempts to get that setup so it would shift through all the gears properly.

I currently have this on my 8-speed bike with no problems. I purchased this along with an 8-speed chain and an 8-speed cassette (chain and cassette were made by SRAM). I'm very satisfied with it.

Not sure it was for my dad he used a 21 speed for it but i dont think it would matter to much which speed it is.

The XT M770 hub is compatible with 8/9/10 speed cassettes, both Shimano and SRAM. I own the same wheel but using a SRAM PG970 9-Speed cassette.

If you mean, "Can it be used with an 800=>400 FW convertor?" then, yes, yes it can ... of course, your speed will be 400 ...

I don't know -- but the Alex R450 is compatible with 8-speed Shimano cassettes. I am using it with a 7-speed cassette and a spacer.

the 850 is for an 8 speed drive train. if you have a 7-8spd on the old classic, than you should be able to use this chain. assuming no other changes had been made over the years. you will most likely need to shorten it. so either have a chain tool handy or bring it to a lbs. but if you do that, you might as well buy the chain from them. buy local first. then the internet. cheers

That would be a no! These are compatible with Shimano 7 speed and 8 speed STI clusters, only

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.

its the same internals different location. any 8.5 gears/carrier/spool will work

Yes, no problem to use your 8 speed cassette. it will fit right on. thanks, ben

Most if not all SRAM 10 speed are compatible with all (SRAM) groups. Key is not to mix brands.

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.

I second the comment that cassettes for 7, 8, and 9 are compatible usually on the same hub. Your derailleur and shifters will determine how many of the gears in the cassette will be used.

Probably yes. since it is for 7 speeds, it will probably do fine for 6 speeds, since it is a fairly standard derailleur, though you may have to make adjustments in the cable tension and/or stops. Also, note that this attaches to the axle bolt. So make sure that's how your bike holds its current derailleur. Look at http://sheldonbrown.com/speeds.html

The left is friction so it will do 2 or 3 chainrings on crank - versatile.Right is 7 spds, but I've used it w/ an 8 spd, you just miss a cog at top or bottom.Fyi: 6,7 & 8 speed use same basic chain & gear spacing, so interchangeability is nice.

I haven't tried it with 8 yet, but it works fine with 7 so it should work with 8 as well.
