Are the 7 spd HG cassettes compatable with the Shimano hubbed wheels currently being sold? I have an older bike (1997) that I want to upgrade the wheels on.
Thanks for your help!

That looks like a good price! But, I think that I am going to stick with just getting the front wheel for now. Unless I can find a good deal on a used "set" on Ebay.
