Freewheel + 2006 Specialized Hardrock XC

Guys,

my gf's spesh is slipping under hard load on occasion, it's not the chain, it just sometimes spins a distance before engaging.

I thought the cassette had a built in freehweel, which is the SRAM PG-830, available for £13.99 from CRC.

But on the parktools website, it seems to suggest that most modern bikes have a freewheel what mounts on the hub, and then the cassette connects to that.

In which case do I need to buy the cassette, that will come with a freewheel?
Or can I/should I be looking for purely a freewheel?

Thanks

Dan

Take it to lbs, ask to watch as they fix it, easiest way to see how it all works.

you will need a new freebody (part of the hub) what is the hub?

Thanks Nick,

it's a Shimano RM30 - looks about the same cost:

I was going to say this, but they don't list a version for an RM30:
