The only other thing I'd be aware of is the rear derailleur. If you are
running a shorter cage RD, then you may run into some chain tensioning
issues with a rear cassette range like that.

A combination of pushing my bike up hill yesterday and the new 12-36 cassette
in the latest Reader has me thinking...
Can I put "8 speed" spacers between the cogs

spacers as I'm not taking apart an eight (unless I can find one lying
around).

Ahh-ha, I think that was the missing part of my plan. I'm going to need a
first position 13T. And new spacers of course. I didn't see them while
looking at Harris' offerings. Did you see a linkety-link for them?

You can't just "leave off the smallest" sprocket. You need a first

David,
I did just that recently. Took apart a 9s cassette and made an 8s out
of it using spacers from an old 8s casssette. I used the lock ring and
outermost 12t cog from the 8s cassette too since the outer cog on the
9 was 11t.
It works just fine.

Can I put "8 speed" spacers between the cogs of a nine speed cassette and
simply leave off the smallest cog? My current 8 speed cassette is a 12-32
