OLD is 135mm
Axle is Q/R

Desired change is to replace the current 7spd cassette with a:

New SRAM 11-34 9spd cassette

I have all the other bits on the shelf to shift it, etc.

So the question is what do I need to do to the wheel and how best to do it?

Thanks in advance for any assist

/K
That probably has a 7 speed Free Hub body which is too short for cassettes with >7 speeds.
Isn't it also spaced for 145MM?
