    Didn't you ask this yesterday HERE ?

    The answer is still "no" 😛

    The cassette spacing and shifter/mech travel are different; 8s and 9s cassettes are the same width but 9s has closer spacing and a narrower chain.

    No.

    you'll either need a 8 speed shifter, or a 9 speed cassette. No way around if, but you're welcome to try it for yourself.
