The Differences Between A Cassette Hub and a Freewheel!

[@yfitzmorris]

Phu's knowledge is next level

[@cfmechanic]

Cog block. Lol. Phu looked stressed trying to make sure he says cassette correct. Cool adapter

[@mikeanzarouth518]

Awesome description of the various components encompassing a traditional hub and a free style hub, thanks.

[@jhonangeles8747]

Here in Philippines there are 12t freewheel sprocket available that you can buy the cheapest one is about $$5=₱250, the cassette cost about $18 but still I can't afford because I'm broke asf🤣 BTW happy new year guys!!

[@bmxriderforlife1234]

I think it's actually a 13 th that's that's smallest made.n

[@bmxriderforlife1234]

Unless you guys have something we never had. Yeah 13 is smallest freewheel and then you get into 2 piece drivers with a thread on cog. Those go to as low as 11th. And as large as 16. One piece drivers come in sizes 8 to 11 maybe larger.

[@tugboat8475]

@@bmxriderforlife1234 correct 13T is the smallest gear. Odesey is looking at going smaller. But smaller is only better on a large rim

[@bmxriderforlife1234]

@@tugboat8475 we have smaller already for bmx. But not freewheels. Odyssey isn't going to make freewheels and they stopped making 12 tooth ones because nobody uses them anymore. And. On big wheels smaller sprockets matter less. I don't think you know what you're talking bout.

Is there a way to use that universal driver on a freecoaster, to run a 16 tooth cog? I want to run a 16 tooth cog on a BSD Revolution freecoaster hub.

Hub question? Can I use a flip flop hub to set up disk brakes on a bmx?

[@AlfredoMancuso]

If the flip flip hub has the attachment for the disc brakes, then yes

[@daztastic147]

I have an e-bike with an electric rear hub motor, and a 11-32 cassette I think (single at the front). Is it possible to change the cassette to a silent one? I assume the pawls are in the middle spinning bearing part of the cassette, nothing to do with the electric rear hub? Excuse my terminology by the way, I’m familiar with bikes but some terminologies confuse the hell out of me. Thanks

[@tiagovazkez9356]

Awsome videos trully. No one rxplains this. NO ONE else

[@vonmarionsanjuan3166]

Nice video, but does 3pawls has difference in performance against 4 to 6pawls cassette

[@jacobevans541]

Can I run sealed bearings in either hub ?

[@AlfredoMancuso]

yes!

[@ThatOneLegoshiCoser3209]

My bmx has a flip flop freewheel which on the main drive it has a freewhel cogs and the other side has a fixed gear which is the thing i like more than an actual cassette 🙏

[@droozilla8803]

Literally just learned this the hard way

[@aurteekay6339]

Well now I know that I can run a cassette on my dirt bmx instead of a freewheel! I wasn’t sure because I have a 39t sprocket on my bmx for dirt pump tracks for maximum speed per pedal rotation and I knew that was far too big to put on a 9t cassette driver but now I know how to modify one to make it a bigger cassette driver ! So I can disassemble the hub now that I know how and install a bigger cog and run my 39t sprocket if I wanted ! Sweeet I was thinking about going 9/28t but I think the big dinner plate sprocket looks and performs amazing

[@xSF5150x]

Can you convert the free coaster hub by removing the cog and replacing it with a louder one such as in a freewheel (I.e. White Industries, Hornet, etc.)?

[@AbrahamKufuna-n6x]

Hi alfredo I want an mtb cassette louder hub

[@ernestesh492]

Why do race bikes run freewheels if the mini has bigger options for cogs or do they mostly run minis now?

[@LoneWolfed]

I've been told by a racer. The torque from how hard they pedal would destroy a cassette hub. I don't buy it, but to each their own. I'm glad Profile invented the cassette. I don't miss freewheels.

[@outlawgentleman8860]

@@LoneWolfed I know a lot of novice to pro guys that run cassettes and not a single one has bent or broke one. The best part is how quick and easy it is to swap gear ratios with very little down time between moto's to moto or to mains. Plus cogs are super cheap compared to freewheels.

[@benjaminfrank_]

I got 36T / 16T ,want to go up on my freewheel to 17T ..will it feel easier to pedal ? I don’t want it to be to easy just want it to feel a tad bit smoother is a 17T good for my situation?

[@michaelfowell223]

The main reason cassette hubs were invented in the first place was to over come a problem that screw on type hubs had. On screw on hubs the axle is supported at the hub with an amount of axle over hanging to accommodate the sprocket/sprockets, over time, the unsupported part of the axle will inevitable bend, even BMX 14mm axles do over time. The invention of the cassette hub, simply puts the bearing support at the end of the axle, leaving no over hang of the axle and no bending of the axle over time.👍😊

This. Freewheels are just old tech.

Race bike vs. freestyle bike different hub for different purposes.

[@bmxriderforlife1234]

Phu is sorta wrong Alf is sorta right. The less links you have in a Chain the less strong it is and the more wear each link takes. Plus the 8th is so small most chains don't ride on them properly causing further issues. Larger sprockets means weaker sprockets. But smaller ones means weaker chains.
