luke. Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 hi guys im new and i am confused about bmx cassette wheels what they are how they are different to free wheels. i think it means that the crank (peddals) are spinning with the wheels and they dont stop unless the wheels stop spinning ,or dose it mean when you go down a hill the crank grips on straight away instead of trying to catch up to the wheels speed? I DONT KNOW PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!! and use as much detail as posible thanx luke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Exactly the same as a freewheel, but on a hub...You'd still have to 'catch up' with it going down hills etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Yeah but what is the difference when your riding the bike? Also what is the difference between a cassette hub and a freewheel when riding. ThanksTo put it simply they are EXACTLY the same. The actual differences are with how they are built and perform but they do work the EXACT same way.Got it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
