|   8/9 speed cassettes hubs compatibility etc. | TheJoker
Jun 27, 2003 5:46 AM | | Am I right in thinking that if I buy an 8 speed Zipp rear wheel I won't be able to put a 9 speed cassette on. Or is there a way you can do it? Thanks |
| If you are talking Campy, the answer is kinda' no. | MR_GRUMPY
Jun 27, 2003 5:59 AM | | If it's Shimano compatable, the answer is yes, except you might have to use a small spacer if you want to use an 11. |

Jun 27, 2003 6:11 AM | | So, Mr Grumpy, what about a Shimano 9 speed on this? Would it work?

Jun 27, 2003 7:34 AM | | The description says it has an 8 speed FREEWHEEL. Freewheels and cassettes are not interchangable. Some folks use the terms wrong.Make sure what it really is before you spend your money. |
| If it is a Sachs 8 speed freewheel, you're SOL..nm | MR_GRUMPY

| That wheel's not 8-speed, per se. | jw25
Jun 30, 2003 8:07 AM | | It's freewheeled, which means you can fit an 8 speed freewheel, but to my knowledge, there's no 9 speed freewheels available.
That wheel, however, is pretty much triathlon/TT specific, so running 8 speeds isn't really a penalty. I'm running older 8 speed Campy on my TT bike, and I've never wished for one more gear, even in the depths of lactic acid delerium. I run a 12-23, and spend most of my time in the lower half of the cassette. I do wish I had an 11, but I manage. |
