hi, thank yo for letting me join this group.
I am updating an old dawes 27inch wheel 531 frame. I have put sora levers and derailluers on it. these work fine, though there are gaps in the rear changer as i have 5 speed freewheel. i have located an8 speed freewheel :
Tranzmission Freewheel Cassette
on a site called dotbike.
this should correspond to the changes on the sora lever. however, i am worried whether my rear wheel and drop outs will be compatible. i have read elsewhere about " dishing" the rear wheel but i dont know what this is.
any advice welcome
thank you
PS i currently ride a giant scr3 aluminum frame. the reason for doing upp the old bike is to see how diferent, if atall, a steel framed bike with crossed spokes and box rims feels to ride. apparently it should be more comfortable and responsive but a little slower. when i have done this i can consider whther to ever buy a carbon bike . PLANET X ????
