hey folks, i am trying to upgrade the components on my old frame. i have a wheel with a shimano hub on it and i am wondering if i can put a suntour cassette on it to use with my really nice suntour rear derailleur or if i can use a shimano cassette with this derailleur, or is it a matter of keep the wheel or keep the derailleur, but not both... your help is appreciated, matthew

For indexed systems you have to match the inter-cog spacing of the cassette to your indexed deraileur. You can mix and match with care. How many gears on the cluster?
For friction gear levers you can mix any mech and cog cluster.
