France being not more than 300 k from here, I would suggest than
'roue-libre' is a word that every bicycle owner would understand.

Not exactly. One's a rear hub the other is a freewheel hub.
Cassette is the same in both languages.

Most French cyclists would understand the phrase. The problem is that
PeteVine doesn't need a freewheel - he needs either a freehub or a freehub
body.

That's any rear hub, not necessarily a freehub.

That's a freewheel hub. The French don't always make the same distinction
between a freehub and freewheel that Anlgophones do, so there can be some
ambiguity. A freehub can be called "un moyeu à roue-libre integrée", but
"moyeu à cassette" is simpler and unambiguous.

I'm still not sure if you're looking for the hub itself or just the
cassette body, but see my previous post for both options.
