A freewheel can be very difficult to remove depending on how long it has been installed. With a freewheel hub you have to have multiple freewheels and sometimes freewheel tools.
One reason is the ease of changing rear sprockets. There are a few reasons to run a cassette hub over a freewheel hub. 3 Cross Lace 4 Cross Lace What are the benefits of running a cassette hub over a freewheel hub? You will count the number of times each spoke crosses another spoke, starting just behind the hub flange and work your way to the rim. That is a difference of 13mm per spoke, which is equivalent to removing 3.4 185mm spokes. For instance, if a 48 hole wheel laced 4cross has a 185mm spoke length then that same wheel would use 172mm spoke length if it were laced radial. The reason a 1cross or radial wheel weighs less than a 3cross or 4cross wheel is the spoke length.
The most common application for a radial lace wheel is a front race wheel where the rider is either very light or very smooth. Some wheels are even built with a radial lace also known as a 0cross. If you wanted to save some weight you could run a lower number cross pattern like a 1cross or 2cross. Generally, on a 36 hole wheel, 3cross is strongest and on a 48 hole wheel, 4 cross is strongest. There are primarily five different lace patterns, which are radial, 1cross, 2cross, 3cross, and 4cross.
