Re: Can I change 7 speed shimano freewheel for 8 speed SunRace? Probably not. You would have to respace and redish the wheel to fit a screw on 8 speed in there otherwise the 8 speed screw on block will foul the chainstay.
Can you replace a 6 speed freewheel with a 7 speed?
If your bike currently has a regular-spaced 6-speed freewheel, you can generally upgrade to 7-speed with little trouble. Since the sprockets are closer together on a 7-speed freewheel, the overall width is only very slightly wider than a regular-spaced 6-speed.
Can you put an 8 speed cassette on a 7 speed hub?
It should work. Spacing on Shimano is 5mm for 7 sp and 4.8mm on 8 sp. You’ll wind up with a phantom gear but everything should work.
Is there a 9 speed freewheel?
This is a DNP-brand “Epoch” 9-speed freewheel. 11-34t for wide range. Since 9-speed hadn’t been dreamed of when freewheels were invented, it’s a little bit too wide.
What is the difference between a freewheel and cassette hub?
What is the main difference between freewheel and cassette hub? The freewheel is a single-unit and the act of pedaling tightens the freewheel to the hub. Whereas the cassette hub is a set of gears (cogs) that slides onto a cassette and is held in place by a lock ring.
Are freewheels still used?
A freewheel clutch is now used in many motorcycles with an electric starter motor. It is used as a replacement for the Bendix drive used on most auto starters because it reduces the electrical needs of the starting system.
Will a 6 speed derailleur work on a 7 speed?
Six speed is included in there as well, it’s just not common to see. So yes, a six speed rear derailleur will work correctly with 7, 8 or 9 rear speed systems. The derailleurs in these speed groups will all move the same amount based on the amount of cable pulled by the shifter.
Are all freewheels the same size?
All recent freewheels and threaded hubs, regardless of where made, use ISO threading. The older British and Italian standards use the same thread pitch but a very slightly different thread diameter, and are generally interchangeable.
Which is better freewheel or cassette?
A freewheel has a lower number of gears so is better suited for casual riders who don’t require the larger selection of gears available from a cassette. It’s much better coasting, allowing you to rest your legs, and if done correctly, can be useful when climbing hills and easier coming down them.

If your bike currently has a regular-spaced 6-speed freewheel, you can generally upgrade to 7-speed with little trouble. Since the sprockets are closer together on a 7-speed freewheel, the overall width is only very slightly wider than a regular-spaced 6-speed.
