I need some advice (again)
I currently have a rear hub (M900) with 8 speed cassette, with an XTR M900 rear mech and Shimano M008 shifters.
Question is, I've a new wheel I wish to replace this one with (a Phil Wood hub) but it is a Freewheel rather than cassette hub, can I use a 7 speed Freewheel with the XTR M900 Rear Derailleur and M008 shifters?
Or would I need to change the shifters to 7 speed ones?
if so, would Suntour XC Pro shifters be appropriate?
Please let me know, as another option would be a 8 speed freewheel - but these weigh even more than the 7, and aren't as good quality.
Thanks
