Good point.
OP: if your current drivetrain is Shimano 7-speed rear, you want to check this. Quickest way to confirm is to pull the rear cassette and see if there's a spacer(s) of about 4 mm or so behind it. Or you could
measure the freehub body length - if it's about 31mm it's 7-speed only, while if it's around 35mm it's 8/9/10 speed (11-speed is longer, but didn't exist in 1995).
