The free hub cassette consists of seven sprocket-wheels fixed together, two separate sprocket-wheels and a washer. The smallest sprocket-wheel has 11 teeth and the largest 32 teeth.The free hub cassette is designed to be placed over the free-wheel mechanism (integrated in the hub body). Thereafter, the drive shaft of the rear wheel can be disconnected from the hub body (free-wheel). This enables the cyclists to keep the pedals still or to pedal backwards while the bicycle is in forward motion.The free-wheel mechanism is not present upon presentation.See imagenote. | 87149300 | Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8714, 87149300.As the article can only be mounted on a free-wheel mechanism integrated in the hub to obtain its free-wheel function, it is considered a free-wheel sprocket-wheel.Therefore the article is to be classified under CN code 87149300 as free-wheel sprocket-wheels. |
