Nice assumption there. I'm running 7 speed at the moment because my rear wheel crapped out on me and it's the only backup I've got available until I can afford to get a new one with a 9+ speed hub.
Regardless, there's absolutely no reason why it wouldn't work with 7 speed. You can reprogram it to shift to different places, it's not like there's a physical limitation to the number of gears the shifter can support anymore.
