    A freewheel can be removed from the hub with one of the many specific freewheel removal tools that engages a spline or set of notches on the outboard end of the freewheel.

    Freehub vs freewheel hub. The freehub concept answers several drawbacks encountered with the freewheel design: Freewheels are threaded onto an axle hub, using conventional right-hand threads. As the bicycle rider pedals, the freewheel is continuously kept tight, as chain torque is in the right-hand direction. This becomes a problem when the ...

    In a fixed-gear bicycle, without a freewheel, the rear wheel drives the pedals around.

  8. Sprag clutch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprag_clutch

    A sprag clutch is a one-way freewheel clutch. It resembles a roller bearing but, instead of cylindrical rollers, non-revolving asymmetric figure-eight shaped sprags, or other elements allowing single direction rotation, are used. When the unit rotates in one direction the rollers slip or free-wheel, but when a torque is applied in the opposite ...
