All You Need To Know About Freehubs, Freewheels, And Cassettes

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this video, I discuss the differences between freewheels and freehubs/cassettes and explain why the freehub is a better system. I also run through the 4 most common freehub bodies (Shimano/Sram, Campagnolo, Sram XD, and Shimano Microspline) and a basic run-through of what cassettes fit them.
Some other videos I've made swapping 11-speed wide-range cassettes onto 10-speed freehubs: • Triple To Wide Range D...
And a 12 speed Sram NX Eagle cassette onto a 10-speed freehub: • Yeti 575 3x9 to 1x12 C...

    Seeing that freewheel brings back memories for me. Threading the freewheel on the hub was so easy. Sometimes lining up cassette cogs on a particular freehub body is not always as easy. I think you should do a video on Campy cassettes and freehubs.

    Thanks! I appreciate your feedback and I'll try to do a Campy specific version soon!

    Joey, I've reviewed this video several times and I recognize and learn something more each time. This time, I picked up on the detail of the size of the largest cog and why it's important. I run a Dura Ace 53/39 chainrings to a 9 speed 11/28 cassette. New bike to me, (Trek 5900) but I planned, going in the purchase to change both the cassette and chainring configuration. Probably go to 11 or 12 to 34 on the rear and yet to be determined on the front. I live in the Hocking Hills in Ohio (hilly), and betting I discover the 50/34 is the right change. Thanks for the very detailed and clear explanation.

    I had a Sram 25/12 10 speed cassette. I was able to run it on a 11 speed hub with no spacer. When i swapped it for a Ultegra 28/11 10 speed cassette i had to use a spacer. I found it so odd. But then i realized they had the same amount of cogs. But the spacing is different. When running the Sram i experienced noise from the chain rubbing because the cogs were closer together. But the Shimano is much smoother and absolutely no noise. Very good point that you touched on about that. Great video.

    I love your videos. I think I’m more confused now lol 😂. I have a Sora on my road bike. 9 speed. I noticed there are no spacers on the hub. The cassette goes straight into the hub. The shifting is ok but no matter what I do the shifting is never very clean and smooth. Do you think I might be missing a spacer in order to get the cassette lined up properly? Thank you

    You're very welcome Denis! I've got Sram and Shimano on various bikes I have, and they're both good. I'd say long term, as in 15 years or so, I've had better luck with Sram components, but honestly, I'm not too picky when it comes to choosing one over the other. Thanks for the question!

    Im thinking of getting the HF welding table fir $70. Think its good enough fir bike frame welding?

    5 or so years ago, I was contemplating the same thing. I ended up just building my own welding table. It worked out well and have built a couple of frames plus numerous other projects on it. The HF table seems like a good option for taking to a job site, but maybe a little too light to build a frame on? Honestly I'm not sure because I haven't tried it. The price is right on the HF table though!

    informational vid, no doubt, but I call foul on title 8) what I need to know, not being a cyclist, is how to reverse the freewheel direction on a shimano hyperglide unit. I'm using it to drive the reel action of a tarp roller and need both ends of my 16 foot span to roll up evenly, yet freewheel when I'm deploying the tarp. It's being driven by a chain on each end by a shaft that spans to drive both ends together (hopefully resulting in a good straight roll without coning or cupping on either end).
