ALSO its the hyper glide system so i think maybe any 8 speed hg cassette might fit and what i really want is a 11- 32 7 speed 8 speed if need be i have found sram pg- cassettes but i dont know if they will replace a hg cassette system thing ....., but i see that most 8 speed hg series will still only give me 11- 28 range ill have to settle for a 11 - 28 bloopity blooop whop cares a ma jigger nuts replacement part 2x

and final notes the spacing says sram/shim so i thin the only issue with fittin on the hub is the spacing comaptititntlyibility !!!! so are all sram/shim style rear hubs the same and will accept any shim or sram brand cassette or cassette made to fit sram / shim spaced hubs **********???!!!!!!!!!!!
None of that makes any sense to me. Sorry.
