She needs to first determine whether her shifter is 8-speed or 9-speed. If it does turn out to be an 8-speed shifter, then she needs to buy either (i) an 8-speed cassette to go with that, or (ii) a 9-speed shifter to go with the current 9 speed cassette. Either way she does not need another 9-speed cassette.
Thanks. I just received a replacement for the broken wheel. It has an eight speed cassette, which I am 95% certain was the original configuration. I will mount the wheel tomorrow and see how it goes. I will report my results.
