  • Will the same hub also accept a 6 speed cassette? Will I need a spacer? Will it fit 8, or is that for 130mm-spaced frames?

    Also, if I'm replacing the cassette, chain, and chainrings, should I also replace the rear mech's jockey wheels?

    6-speed Uniglide cassette will fit, 8-speed won't. No extra spacers required, the 7-speed was a narrower spacing to fit 7 sprockets in the space previously occupied by 6.

    You don't need to replace jockey wheels unless they are severely shagged out, somewhat worn jockey wheels won't have a negative impact on the new chain in the way that worn sprockets and chainrings will.

  • Was searching for a 7 for ages, and the 6 is much more widely available

    That makes sense, 6 was around for longer, 7 was quickly superseded by 8/130mm
