The cassette is the cluster of gear cogs or sprockets attached to the hub
of the rear wheel of a bicycle. Pedaling action is transmitted to
the cog via the chain. This in turn rotates the rear wheel driving
the bicycle forward. The cassette allows the rear wheel to continue
moving forward even when the rider coasts.
The most common cassette type is the nine-speed variety. Combined with three chainrings on the chainset, it provides 27 gears. The larger sprockets provide lower gears for easier climbing, while the smaller sprockets provide higher gears for faster speed.
Freewheels are an older style of cog mechanism, but have been mostly replaced by cassettes. They are often found on single speed bicycles. A freewheel has a cog mechanism built into it, while a cassette slides onto a grooved part of the rear hub which contains the cog part.
