    I have Shimano 600 rear cassette and it badly worn and need of replacement. So I was looking to get a cassette on of e-bay but I am not sure if my gears are a cassette for freewheel, and to tell the truth the difference between the two. So if I could get some assistance on what I should be looking for I would be much [font=&quot][font=Verdana]appreciative[/font].[/font].

    Thanks,
    Jeremy

    Here is a repost from a previous similar request that should help:

    The couple of links that follow do a much better job of explaining it than I. Basically a freewheel consists of the cogs and ratcheting mechanism as a unit that screws on to a fixed hub. A cassette is just the cog assembly that slips onto a splined interface on a freehub (ratcheting mechanism is part of the hub assembly). See:
