If i was to buy Shimano RS501 (bladed) and a Shimano 8spd HG50 cassette will I be able to get it to work with virtually any old shimano rear derailleur and down tube shifter?
In friction mode, any RD from the last 20 years should be fine
Are there any disc brake hubs that take an 8 speed cassette?
Pretty much every MTB cassette hub ever made will take 8-speed. The Shimano HG pattern freehub rotor fits 8,9 and 10-speed.
