i'll be building it up on my old road frame, a raleigh mtrax.
missing parts are wheels, cassette, headset and bottom bracket.
last 2 of those not a problem, i has knowledge of those and i know the wheels i'll purchase.
could someone please suggest a suitable 7 speed cassette?
and also can someone help with an explanation of fitting it to a now standard 8/9/10 speed shimano hub? i am going for new wheels, shimano hubs.
i believe you need one of these?

does that simply fit on the hub before fitting the cassette?
help greatly appreciated and any other tips more than welcome.
thank you.
