Thanks for this, I inherited an older mtb and needed to replace the freewheel. This video was really clear and super helpful.

Thanks Mike! Super sick! Thank you!

Thank You very much!

Thanks a lot for your video Mike! Muchas gracias por tu video Mike, desconocía el método para quitar un free wheel ! Saludos

Thanks Mike 😁

Thank you.

Just curious, which freewheel are you using in the video? Been looking for a more attractive, yet reliable freewheel than the new Shimano ones with the white lettering

Very good and clear Thanks. Question:- before starting working on it. how do you recognize if it is a Free wheel or if it is a cassette you are looking at. Thanks Brian

You can tell by looking at the center. A freewheel has a thick ring that has bearings behind it and threads on to the wheel. A cassette mounts to the free hub that is on the wheel and it has the bearing in it.

If its a cassette, on the end of it there's usually a lock ring that secures the cassette on the body. Excepting newer Sram high end cassettes which use XD drivers. If its a freewheel, theres no lockring, just the spline or notched interface for their remover tools. BUT, there's also a spline for the tool on a cassette lock ring. Look at some pictures or a video.

I probably meant a Free Hub. Where the part with the ratchet is a separate part. Will I only discover the difference once I have taken off the cassette like you have done.
