The wheelset you're looking at has a freehub and will be fine for the spacer kit you are getting. The gearing depends on the use, I assume you'll be on the trail, so smaller front ring(more clearance) with smallish cog(18ish)depending on the terrain. The spacer kit should include enough cogs for you to switch out. Have fun, I love my Gary Fisher conversion. I used a spacer kit and elongated the rear dropouts to avoid having a tensioner. Mine's steel though, so I had no qualms about a little grinding. Yeah, just make sure to get the proper BCD chainring for you cranks and some short stack(BMX style)bolts to get it in there.
