    I have an older 6 speed ATB and I want to replace the brake/shifters.
    Can a newer 8 speed Shimano Acera work with a 6 speed cassette??

    Thanks for your help.

    Short answer is yes. Block 2 clicks on 8s levers and the spacing on 6s
    and 8s is not large enough to make a difference. 7s shifters, which may
    be easier to find on the low end, is even closer but again, spacing
    differences are not a big deal.

    That's true, I've run modern Sram 8 speed sprockets and spacers on a
    six speed cassette and they shifted fine, wasn't sure if it worked the
    other way around. :P
