Good comments about cross gearing, Lisa, but the gearing that I actually think she'll end up with is exactly the same as the majority of mountain bikes, 22-32-44 with an 11-34 cassette so it will get wider than the chart shows.
Unless there is some weird beast out there, cassettes are built on a spider with the largest gears permanently attached. They will not be swapping just the largest cog. The entire cassette will be replaced.

Fantastic! I was surprised they would sell you that bike with a double to begin with. Good for you to have gone there and requested the change.
I hope you will enjoy the new challenges allowed to you by the new gearing!

On the Terry site, there is a short video called "Bicycle Gears" that explains the gearing, and the problems with cross-chain that will be very helpful for you as you learn the ins and outs of your triple.
