Yeah it is a cro-mo Trek 800. I already have a 7 speed freewheel crammed back there and everything has lined up so far. I did have to put a thick washer to shim the wheel to the left because the smaller cog would rub the frame when the chain was in it. I am waiting on some other parts and tools to come in before I attempt this. I need a freewheel remover tool first, been lazy about getting one but now I don't have an excuse!
