So if I pickup a complete "Shimano 2013 Tiagra 10 Speed Rear Bicycle Hub - FH-4600" off Amazon for $30 with free shipping, then I could pilfer the freehub and retrofit my existing wheel's HF05 hub, followed by the normal respace/redish it routine? I am basing this on the many inputs on this forum and the comment on Sheldon that all Shimano 8/9/10 speeds are interchangable (but is the Sheldon page up to date)?
