This Altus 8 speed trigger a good swap for the thumbies if I go down that route then?
Yes, or you could really cheap out and go 7-speed, just needs a 3mm spacer under the cassette

Big pulleys for lower drivetrain losses, and cheaper than Ceramicspeed too :-)

Cheers. The sticker on the hub says 'FH RM40 8' -the 8 meaning 8 speed presumably.
