Yeah, except, to mod as wanted with a 9 tooth cog, you can't just mount on the freehub body typical for an 11 tooth high, you need one of the newer freehub bodies designed for 9 tooth. Someone on here says some have the same "standard" interface with the hub, but swapping out a freehub body is a big pain, though perfect time to clean and relube the wheel bearings because the axle has to come out. But at least you shouldn't need a new hub.
