SoaG is right, freehubs accept cassettes, freewheels are both combined.

Cassettes are better.

freewheels are both combined.

Are they still available on new bikes...?

And I do mean cheapo Halfords sh!te. I haven't been paying too much attention to the market of recent years but I assumed that the old freehub stuff was obsolete now.

But hey, WTF do I know? My piccies were nice tho don't you think...

Yes you can still get bikes with freewheels on. Our Ridgeback MX2 at £199 come with a seven speed freewheel.

Lots of kids bikes still use freewheels too. Horrible things!

I agree, I hate it when I have to service a bike with them on.

I generally recommend an upgrade...
