Talking Bicycle Question, Experts?

I posted a while ago about an uncomfortable seat on my old school Cannondale mtb. I have since resolved that proper, and decided to start riding again.

My wheels were old and banged up, so I decided to pick up two new ones. The front is pretty self explanatory. I also upgraded to a mechanical disc brake, which took some adjusting since the brake/shift levers are older Shimano XTR all one piece units.

My question is, after taking the rear cassette off (a 7 speed Shimano Hyperglide one, albeit not exactly new) it is too short to fit on the new wheel. There is about 1/8th of the hub showing. I am guessing the new wheel is made for an 8 or 9 speed cassette. Is there a spacer or adapter I can use, or should I just take the wheel back?

I haven't really ridden it much since I had the Fox terra logic shock put on the front, man is that thing sweet.

Thanks,

Bill
