I'm trying to figure out what type of hub I have on my 1994 Schwinn CrissCross. I read Sheldon Brown's website but it offered so much info I think I'm more confused now than I was when I started. As I understand it there are 2 main types of hubs that my bike could possibly have- A cassette hub or a multi-speed freewheel hub. The cassette hub will have splines vs. the freewheel hub that will be threaded. From:

In the pictures on his website I can plainly see the difference but on my bike, with the gears still on the hub, I'm not sure which type I have. A helpful BF.netter was able to link me to the 'stats' about my bike but it might as well be written in russian since I don't know what I'm looking at. The hub is listed as a Hypergear 7 speed if that means anything? Full stats @

What am I looking for when taking the complete rear wheel off to determmine which type of hub I have?
Thanks in advance.
