Just trying to work out if a wheel is for 7 or 8 speed (obviously theres no cassette on there right now). Does anyone know the measurement difference between 7 and 8 or am I going to have to start pulling cassettes off other wheels to test?

Also...I presume the ghost click on XT thumbies does actually with an 8 speed cassette? Has anyone actually tried it?
 
A 7-speed Hyperglide hub measures 30.5mm from the base of the splines to the outer edge of the freehub body. An 8/9 speed body will be about 4mm longer.
