um....tasty Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 (edited) I want to turn my 8 speed into 5 speed so I was thinking to get a Hope spacer kit and use some of the spacers to take out and replace the unwanted cogs and replace my grip shift with an old school thumb shifter. Will this work?Thanks Edited April 14, 2007 by um....tasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 You should be able to use cassette spacers (the little plastic or metal things between the cogs in a cassette) if you have any lying around instead of buying the single speed kit.

Grant H Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 if you haven't got any spare spacers lying around i could send you my unused spacers free if you wanted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
