Just wondering if it would be possible to use a spacer+the 7 speed cassette to make it fit onto a 8/9/10 speed wheel or do I need a 7 speed specific rear wheel?
Also if i need a 7 speed specific rear wheel, any suggestions as to ones that I may be able to purchase?

Any news?

So I've contacted Peter White, and have gotten the quote, but I'll be taking a bit longer route on the wheels. A friend recommended to replace components and then get the wheel....seeing as a new wheel will take maybe 3 weeks just to get to Hawaii. So that's what I've done, took off shimano 600 components from a low end tri bike and overhauled the new bike. Sadly I had to pay for labor at my LBS because I didn't have any of the tools/expertise needed to do this extensive maintenance....thus setting me back a hundred or so dollars. Hopefully by the end of this year!

This may sound like an ignorant question, but are front wheels all the same? Talking in terms of the spacing. I have found numerous front wheels for sale by guys riding fixed gear bikes and I am worried about buying a decent wheel and then it not fitting.
