Are you sure you want a freewheel? Cassette hubs are nice.
Prejudice number one: I like freewheels.
This is an irrational thing, rooted purely in my familiarity with freewheels, as that was the only option when I started cycling.
Since then, I learned about the technical superiority of Shimano’s FreeHub, with its outboard bearings. Duly noted.
But I’ve never had any problems with bent axles, and I’ve never had any problems with any of my freewheels.
So yeah, for now I’m sticking with my freewheels.
