What's the correct name for the freehub in French? To avoid any
confusion I mean the part that the cassette locks onto.

Thanks

What about "moyeu-roue libre" that I found at Sheldon Brown's site?

Does it mean the same thing?

The part of the rear hub that the cassette mounts on is called the freehub
_body_ in English, or the "corps de cassette" in French. A rear hub with
freehub body is commonly called a "moyeu a cassette".

France being not more than 300 k from here, I would suggest than
'roue-libre' is a word that every bicycle owner would understand.

Not exactly. One's a rear hub the other is a freewheel hub.
Cassette is the same in both languages.

Most French cyclists would understand the phrase. The problem is that
PeteVine doesn't need a freewheel - he needs either a freehub or a freehub
body.

That's any rear hub, not necessarily a freehub.

That's a freewheel hub. The French don't always make the same distinction
between a freehub and freewheel that Anlgophones do, so there can be some
ambiguity. A freehub can be called "un moyeu à roue-libre integrée", but
"moyeu à cassette" is simpler and unambiguous.

I'm still not sure if you're looking for the hub itself or just the
cassette body, but see my previous post for both options.

A freehub body indeed, thanks for the explanation.

I can tell you how many times I've heard anyone in a french bike shop say
"corps de cassette": never. For that matter "moyeu a cassette" falls in the
same category. As you mentioned it can be ambiguous but just "le moyeu"
will get the job done provided it's clear you're talking about the part for
the rear wheel.

I wonder what accounts for our divergent experience.

The Freehub is the entire rear hub, "moyeu cassette" or "moyeu k7."

I think you're asking about the "Freehub body" which is the part with
the ratchet mechanism, and the external splines where the sprockets
slide on.

This would be "corps de cassette" or "corps de k7."

"k7" is a punny French way of spelling "cassette."

The letter "k" is pronounced "kah" and the number "7" is "sept." The
"p" is basically silent, so "kah sept" sounds basically the same as
"cassette"

K7 is in French what K9 is in English

Not when a set of eyes will suffice.

When a set of eyes and a pointing finger are available, "Moi! Veut! Ça!
Capeesh?" would probably suffice. I'm guessing that that isn't PeteVine's
situation, but I've been wrong before.
