Treefox,

if you can work the redish yourself, and replace the freehub, then thats the way to go.

If your getting someone else to do it, the price of a good used rear wheel might not be much different and less of a hassle. If the frame is aluminum, they advise not to use a rear wheel that doesn't match the spacing.
