The 8 speed hub is bigger to accomodate the extra cog. The 9 > speed spacing got tighter but still used the same hub as an 8 speed. That is what I was fuzzily thinking but not articulating. I've not tried this, but perhaps you can drop off a cog from a 10 sp cassette and install the remaining 9 on a 7 (if you follow me). The only hindrance would be some sort of theoretical difference in the spoke end of the freehub body that prevents the spider from fitting over the spoke end flange (which is how they cram 10 into the space of 8 without reducing spacing any further than it was for 9...) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
