  • Can someone remind me why shimano 7 speed is a hassle?

    They could only do that if it was. You're rather unlikely to come across UniGlide (used for 6-speed and early 7-speed) unless you deliberately go looking for it. Nearly everything 7-speed you come across will be HyperGlide. You need a spacer to use 7-speed HG cassettes on 8-11 speed HG freehubs, but then you need a spacer on half the 10-speed cassettes too and very few people died.

  • Cheers. Sounds like I was misremembering. Or maybe it's because I picked up a cheap pair of UniGlide DA hubs without knowing how limiting it was.

  • Are UniGlides the ones that the bottom/smallest cog acts the lock-ring and you need 2 chain whips to get them off? Trying to source sprockets myself, knowing the name helps
