Can I ride with the freehub the way it looks in the video? Tomorrow is a holiday in Brazil and I won’t be able to take the bike to a shop until the day after. I have a 120 km training session scheduled. What do you think? Is there any chance the freehub is still usable?

No its not its right there
Feels like you should test it with a chain on
How does it behave with a chain on ? Here you’re just watching the freewheel mechanism’s drag against the wheels bearings’ drag. It doesn’t look bad.
And even it the freehub _was_ bad, I would say it’s not that big a deal. The increased drag will only have an effect when you’re not pedaling.
Seems fine to me, the cassette is probably just catching on something. Try it with a chain on and see if it slips under load, if not then it’s fine.
What seems to be the problem?
Mano tem q ver com corrente – só bota um olio boa nela bem no hub mesmo e ela vai ficar bem de novo, algumas vezes é só seco e ela quer um olio daquele
I think your chain is gone
Based on your replies I would still take the FH body off and check the drive ring and pawls. Don’t want to strip that out when you’re 35 km from home. Cassette is definitely behaving oddly, could be a touch of bearing wear, or it could be early signs of a ratchet failure.
