Pictures of your current cassette setup would be helpful. Mostly a picture looking straight at it from the axle, so we know what type it is.

8/9 speed cassettes will not fit a 7 speed hub. They are too wide.
You are limited to staying with 7 speed unless you fit a new 8 speed hub.
Ride hard or ride home alone!

don't bother, unless you are into competition cycling,
more gears = more problems. you will also need to change your shifters and rear changer and possibly your chain. read this; http://www.jakesbikes.co.uk/content/348.php |
