: I have an old but like new hub which had a 6-speed shimano freewheel on it. I would like to use the hub with a 7-speed freewheel and shimano RSX STI. Can I just put a 7-speed freewheel on it without any mods? Is so, which brand of freewheel is shimano compatible? Thanks!

You can put a 7 speed on without a problem. The 7 speed spacing is narrower, so the freewheel shouldn't take up any extra space on the hub. Of course, you will need new new shifters.
