There’s another cog system called a “cassette“, and the procedures in this video are for freewheel systems, not cassette systems. If you’re not sure what you’ve got, watch this other video to help you determine which is which. ▶︎ Why are we doing this?

This procedure is also used when replacing the cassette for an upgrade or to changing gear ratios.
