Can I use a Shimano TZ-500 freewheel with my 8-speed rear derailleur?

A 7-speed freewheel requires a 7-speed shifter. An 8-speed rear derailleur can physically mount, but you cannot achieve correct 7-speed indexing without a 7-speed shifter. Replace the shifter to match the freewheel speed.

Is the TZ-500 compatible with Shimano Tourney derailleurs?

Yes — the TZ-500 is designed as the companion freewheel for Shimano Tourney rear derailleurs. It is the standard OEM pairing on millions of entry-level bicycles.
