How to convert a 7 speed hub cassette to 8, 9 or 10 speed

[@johnmoonen4204]

Yes its fun to work with wheels,hubs,spokes. I have also rebuilt a lot of wheels. Tip: with a lathe you can re-grind the pitted bearing hubs and conus but then you have to use new steel bals.

Yesss, read about people doing this before. Just need more space to install one in my living room.

Thanks for this! It's great to see some of these options, keeping these vintage bikes going!

I've been co stipulating moving from a 3x7 to 1x11, thanks for the info.

[@rinaldyfaustino643]

Nice thank you for this. I've been meaning to do this on my Pulstar hubs. Should be the same procedure ang all right?

[@whitefeatherslinger8194]

Brilliant this is what i needed the freewheel can be adapted to a ebike that has no big threads and the smaller screw one u shown screws into the outer axle as im lookin foe a ebike

I love your content, greetings from Taller el Litre, Valparaiso, Chile. We do lot of this kind of work on the workshop 🛠

Thank you for an informative video. You'll be pleased to know that an old dog like me can learn new tricks, in particular the ball bearing extraction using a HD magnet 👍. I'm a stubborn ol' bugger, I've been using my beloved XT thumbies on an 8 speed cassette. It does work with the extra click, as I'm sure you well know, but I'm having to fine tune it too often. So I'm going to downgrade back to a 7 speed cassette. Now where did I put that spacer? Cheers mate. 👍

[@atboy4342]

Someone suggested on my xt thumshifter video, the possibility of dremeling an extra groove (interior plate) to make a real 8th click. I recall checking if it was possible, can’t remember…food for thought

[@badger67]

@@atboy4342 Now that is food for thought. Thanks for that 👍

Road bike 7 speed rear axle hub spacing is usually 126mm, not 135mm. Mountain bikes do start at 135mm for 7 speed, so this method will only work for mountain bikes.

[@Scottslookingabout]

what do i do if my cassette spline housing is wobbly, the wheel and axle are fine. Just a wobbly cassette spline housing.

[@atboy4342]

The freehub body you mean? Replace it

[@the_nondrive_side]

well this answers two of my wheels.. but I'm looking at my 2021 norco indie 4 and an 8 speed 26" wheel with a joyride hub and wondering

[@atboy4342]

Quick search : norco indie 4 is set up with a 1X7 drive train. Joyride hubs seem to be Single speed?

[@the_nondrive_side]

@@atboy4342 I have a joyride hub from another bike with a disc and 8 speed cassette. I actually have another similar to check also

[@atboy4342]

If it has a 8 speed cassette, it likely will hold 9/10 speed. I tried 11 speed recently, only issue was tightening the locknut. The tool couldn’t go deep enough to properly tighten (its another video coming eventually)@@the_nondrive_side

[@the_nondrive_side]

@@atboy4342 dumbass... the 7 speed carrier won't.. so I need to swap to an 8.. stop talking dummy

[@whitefeatherslinger8194]

Its the best video ive came accross yet explaining and showing the parts and what they do and how to work them cheers ive watched loads of stupid vids teyna get the rite hub to suit my ebike wheel as it came with no threading so its like a frontwheel ebike but its clearly larger axle on one side but ill still be on ly able to fit a 567 id be glad with 5 to be honest once im not ghost cycling i dont mind 👍subbed

[@bobbagadonuts4365]

If you can put an 8-speed on, it will also take up to 11-speed. Don't have to stop at 10.

[@atboy4342]

Yeh I tried recently, it works.

[@compasteedee]

It can go up to 12 speeds if you want to buy a cassette out of the Shimano ecosystem. Lots of manufacturers make 12 speed HG cassettes, I've installed them numerous times

[@atboy4342]

Like sunrace 12s for example?

[@ifrit35]

That was a clear and thorough explanation. Thanks for the video.

[@EricDidulo]

Ok but when building the wheel,...Wheel dishing would be an issue for sure

[@test40323]

nicely explained. thanks!
