Suntour Superbe Pro casettes

[altec]

I need an advice, i have a rear 8 cogs Suntour Superbe pro freehub and no chance to find the appropriate cassette which should be like this and have 8 cogs:

I can find more easily brand new cassette with 7 speed:

Is it possible to use 7 speed cassette on 8 speed freehub? If so what more should I do to make it work properly?

thank you

I've done this a few times with Shimano cassettes so should be fairly straightforward....first slide a narrow spacer to the back of your Suntour freehub (same dimension as a bottom bracket spacer, normally 1/8" thick these you can pick up from any good bike shop) then mount your 7 speed cassette making sure there is no play on the cassette once the lockring is tight now finally adjust the stop screw on the rear derailleur so there is no over shift, good luck!

ps: not quite the same model as a Superb Pro but may do if you wish to keep it as an 8 speed << http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SR-Suntour-Po ... xyAbxTkdNN >>

Are these same as the Suntour Powerflo Microdrive cassettes ?
(As on MTBs)?

As there's one 8 sp 11-28t on eBay

I read somewhere that the only difference is lockring. You can take all sprockets from microdrive or mix non-microdive with microdrive sprockets but the lockring should come from superbe pro cassette.

If that's the case then eBay has lots 8sp. You can chop chance cogs
