Simpson Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 You can set it up to work but to be honest would just get a new shifter because u change 1 gear past the 6 you set up to use it will go ping fick you chain youll fall off but in theory it could run yess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 that depends on the spacers between the cogs. 7 and 8 speed cassettes have wider spacers than 9 speed ones, so you need to know what width the spacers are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 What Janson said Plus you can easily set the mech up so it won't "ping" off - Just use the limit screws. However, most trials peeps seem to use 8 speed stuff, so I don't know if you should get an 8 speed shifter and use that. It would stop you having to use a scary thin chain, at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
