Changing Cassette

My cross bike has an 8 speed 11-32 cassette. Apart from re-indexing would I have to change anything if I fitted a 11-34 cassette instead ?
My instinct is No.

    If the rear mech can cope, might not even need re-indexing, possibly just the B-adjustment to make sure it clears the cassette.

    if the rear mech can manage a 34T cog then the B screw would need adjusting and possibly the chain if you have ever used both big cogs.
