The freehub is a component on the rear wheel of a bike that allows the rider to coast without pedaling and houses the cassette sprockets. The advantages of investing in a new freehub system include increased axle strength due to wider bearing placement and easier removal and replacement of individual sprockets compared to older freewheel systems.
The wheel hub is the central part of a bike wheel that houses the axle and bearings, allowing the wheel to spin freely and connecting it to the spokes and rim. The freehub is a more specific type of rear wheel hub that contains a ratcheting mechanism allowing the rider to coast without pedaling and provides a splined interface for attaching the cassette sprockets.
