Hello,

I need to replace my rear wheel. My bike is a Gazelle Champion Mondial AA, with a Sachs New Success groupset. Previously I have used wheels with a 7 speed uni-glide cassette. I'm wondering if I can buy a different wheel with a screw on 7 speed cassette for example? Or will this then throw out the spacing?

Any help much appreciated.

Sachs new sucess was designed around 5mm Sprocket spacing for 7 or 8 speed(up to 1997) 1998 and after it was desined around 4.8mm sprocket spacing for 8 speed. 7 speed shimana has 5mm sprocket spacing which is whynit works for you.,post 1998 sach shifters works with shimano 8 speed cassettes.

Thanks for the response, does this mean that I can use a wheel with a screw on 7 speed shimano cassette? I ask because wheels with screw on cassettes are easier to find (and cheaper) than trying to source a wheel with a uni-glide cassette. Thanks.

Yes you can do that.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
