'Shit to one side, forgot a cassette is another word for a large selection of rear wheel sprockets! A bmx hub is called a cassette hub due to it having pawls and teeth inside the driver (the bit, I asume that the sprockets go on) but just one cog!'....??????????????
bmx use single speed hubs, not cassette, and utilise one rear freewheel cog, ie the screw on part has cog and free/single speed mechanism in one...... cassette hub has the freewheel mechanism built into the hub, and the ( various )gearing cogs slide and lock on to the hub, and are just cogs and spacers.
