to make sure that a 9 speed crank will work with an 8-speed cassette? There's a guy selling new Tiagra cranksets on Ebay for $39 and I was planning to pick one up for Donna. Her bike runs the 8-speed Sora group.

ZJ,

I have had that set up on my MTB with Shimano XT for a few years now. No complications other than having to remember to get the 8 speed chain and 9 speed replacement rings when replacement time comes.

I don't think there will be compatability issues..
