8spds' longevity
Greetings,
I'm a roadie who uses an 8spd ATB cassette, 11-30 on a road bike. Are 8spds being phased out on ATBs? They seem to be for road bikes. Do I need to buy futures of 8 spd cassettes? |

Most of my bikes are twenty years old. Never the slightest problem getting parts. I will be obsolete before my bikes are. |
Thank you alan

. There are still plenty of 7&8 speed parts out there. the only place they're truly becoming hard to find is online as most online shops only want to deal with the "now". Consult your local LBS for parts to keep it running, or if you're feeling froggy it's easy to make the jump to 9 speed. |
8 speed baby yea!

I have no regrets about switching to nine speed.
