No, not that obvious to me, actually. Except for the fact that, if this is where the chain goes around, then obviously there isn't anywhere for the chain to go if you tried to shift. Does that mean no need for a derailleur?
What does a "hub" look like? Just a hub.
I actually have read the Sheldon Brown site on freewheels and freehubs. Still somewhat confused.
