The cassette sits on the freewheel.

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...
