  1. At harris cyclery
    Quality Bicycle Products Special Order Catalog
    Search "cassette, I read-

    Shimano
    1mm spacer, to put a compact cassette on a non-compact body (FW8300)
    $3.95

    What is a compact cassette?
    And what is a non-compact body?
    Further,The ring pictured comes with the shimano cassette package? Or
    is that included ring a different thickness?

    I place the shimano cassette package's included ring on the installed
    cassette becaws the ring comes with the package.

    Currently, this means a 7 speed atb Cassette, ring spacer as pictured
    installed between 1 and 2 cogs,then with 1mm ring spacer after 7cog(not
    the one pictured, a plain round ring)-one filed off edge on a nylon
    spacer-then a 34 tooth extra cog for 8 speeds on a deore lx hub.

    Harris' catalog seems to infer that the pictured ring(s) are not
    always called for but available for specific installations.

    yesterday,the computer rejected the post as incomprehensible.
    What's it all mean?

    and following data

    good. i am completely,cheerfully, and principally relieved.
    also, for the 7-8 atb conversion with a 1mm spacer, awl enlarge the
    nylon spacer holes for the inboard cassette bump stops.

    ...What is a compact cassette?...

    It is a flat rectangular device that consists of a polymer case that
    contains two hollow spindles that carry a reel of 1/8-inch magnetic tape
    running at 1-7/8-ips. Commercially introduced by Philips in 1963 for
    dictation recording devices, it became a highly popular (but medium
    fidelity) media for music, both prerecorded and home recorded. Its
    popularity has greatly declined with the introduction of optical and
    other high density digital storage media. 😉
