What do you guys recommend for a 7 speed cassette? I understand I'd need a spacer and 7 speed chain to make it work, anything else? How hard would it be to make the swap myself? (I have a chain whip and the park tools cassette tool, I have swapped out my 8 speed cassettes before.)
Depends on your gearing needs. I like the 13-30 7 speed for my (light) tourer, but if I needed to carry more weight I'd use the 13-34. That bike has a 48T big ring and 650B wheels, and with Hetre tires 48x13 gives me a top gear just under 100 inches, which I consider ideal.
I have one other 650B bike that uses a 39/53 double and a 14-32 7 speed cassette. 53x14 with a 650Bx38 tire also works out to just under 100" top gear.
