Check Your Bike’s Hub Type

To check your bike’s hub type, you need to remove the rear wheel of the bike and take a closer look at the smallest cog on the cassette. If the lockring sits outside the smallest cog, it means that you have a cassette freehub.
Once you have removed the rear wheel of your bike, take off the quick release skewer from the wheel. Put the cassette lockring remover into the cassette and turn around till it seats. The cassette will seat in one position only. Then, remove the lock ring and slide off the bike cassette.
