It’s easy to confuse freewheels and cassettes, since at first glance, they are so much alike.
The freewheel is a single unit with bearings and pawls, mounted directly onto the hub. With a cassette, the bearings and pawls are part of another part, the freewheel hub. The cassette is mounted on this part, that makes freewheeling possible.
