My hub doesn't make any noise cuz I never stop pedalling. I dont want to hear my bike unless something is wrong as for startling animals and other people. I've somehow managed to sneak up on both with a blaring speaker so I dont think it helps in that department. TheHill Sep 2, at I've made my DT Swiss Star Ratchet system more silent by switching to slightly thicker grease on the ratchet, no detectable change in drag when spinning, but much less noise.
Mine came pretty quiet. The DT's have a lower pitch sound to them too, which is nice. Loud as a function of quality and strong pawls My dream hubs are I9 torchs definitly!!! I love hope hubs but also like my bike to be real quiet a d just hear the tires!
No need for a bike bell with my hope hubs, I don't even have to say on your left anymore! Though, some are panicked thinking there is a bunch of angry wasps coming up behind them. Dethphist Sep 2, at Loud hubs are the modern equivalent of putting a playing card in your spokes.
Where are my chris king peeves?!?! Hope is ok and all but it will never beat the bumble bee! Freerider-Dave Sep 2, at Loud hubs yes! As long as they sound nice however. I have heard some hubs that sound horrible. I've been trying to quiet this hub down but I still love it. Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz vimeo. OneLapWonder Sep 2, at Surely I can't be the only one that has an eBay search alert for Razor Rock hubs??
King hubs are the best and probably always will be, Chris not Tune. EstebanPablo Sep 2, at Startling people aside I think silent would be awesome. And for some reason I'm anti bell. So if I had to make noise I'd rather it be my hub. JC9won4 Sep 2, at One of my bikes has a loud hub, the other silent. When I'm riding one I always long for the hub sound or lack there-of from the other. Grass is greener syndrome. Echevarria Sep 2, at High engagement loud hubs always have more spin resistance.
I made my hub's sprawl springs slightly weaker a few days ago and now it spins like butter with less buzzzz. MikerJ Sep 2, at King hubs Because compared to most PB posters they are older, ride better, and not as loud. Prefer loud hubs on my road bike and quiet hubs on my mountain bikes. Yabster Sep 3, at The louder the better its subliminal willy waving! If your hopes aint loud enough double the pawl springs up for twice the effect.
Does nobody have a Bell on their bike? A lot louder then a Noisy ass hub and you can turn it off when you want too. A guy in our group has those i9 hubs, they are so loud, I don't understand the appeal? Loud hub for the woods, silent hub for the streets. Thx mike for putting silent word on it. Hadley indeed. I've got 2 sets. The 72 is great, but the sounds incredible. Minigun loud.. Scare everything around for miles - hikers, bikers, homeless, pot smokers - all those woods inhabitants.
Loud to keep the horsey people happy. They get mad when you scare their horse. No kidding? Takes a lot to get horses use to bikes. But once they are, it's all good. My wife has a few horses, technically I have one too. Took a couple weeks, but they are fine with bikes.
Just remember, if you scare a horse and the rider comes off, you can become liable for the incident, including medical bills, injury bills to the horse, property damage, etc..
Some horse people are sue happy and a little nuts. Some don't take the time to desensitize them to things they are afraid of and those people really piss me off. Actually, the more you interact with riders, the better the horses will get.
You won't be a big scary animal running down the trail coming to eat them anymore. Hell, pack a carrot or give them a treat out on the trail. They will be looking for YOU.. It's literally that easy to live with horses. Horseback riders are the ones who bring out a very large animal to shared use trails, only for them to crap everywhere and if they don't train their animal enough to be even remotely ok with bikers and something happens the rider is liable?
I am very much for everyone accessing all trails, but most of my experiences, and the rules around the horse folks are very frustrating. My wife has always wanted "1" so I will probably be doing the same some day. She actually came with them. You actually just have to announce yourself and see if the horse is acting weird, ie, turning, backing up, acting riled.
Then follow the riders instruction. You know, I think we may be in the minority when it comes to bikes. Our half draft he has the 30lbs piles of poop on the trail his first trail ride, I rode my mtb on the trail while my wife rode him illegally btw.
I rode in front, rode behind, touched him with my hand. He's fine with it. Our quarter horse mare she has the 15lbs piles of poop she was super sketchy of bikes, but I rode with her too and did all the trail stuff.
Now she's fine. I could take them to the mtb trails and never have an issue. As for the poop, it's actually the cleanest of all the farm animals. If the bike rider comes storming up and does not give the right of way or does not follow instruction there are IMBA rules for horses and there is a wreck, it becomes the bike riders fault. If you are just sitting there, completely different issue. As for your wife and a horse They are kinda cool. I mean it's a lbs or lbs, he's mine animal that is afraid of everything and getting them to trust you is pretty cool.
And if you ever need a leverage tool for buying a fork or new bike Anyway, I don't much mind the horseshit, just the double standard.
I'm much more annoyed by dog owners who bag the poop but conveniently "forget" to pack it out. I've yet to encounter anyone on horseback that weren't completely cool though. My Onyx hubs for the fat bike are on the truck for delivery right now.
It is gonna sound like the batman tumbler. Stealth hubs rock. Silent, with instant engagement, no maintenance, durable. I use a trail bell for hikers. Dano Sep 2, at Stealth is also a company making silent, instant engagement hubs. Dano : to much drag with stealth.
Onyx is the way to go. Definitely notice that my bike rolls further with the lack of drag on onyx hubs. MtlWoodworker Sep 2, at Loud as possible, can hear and gauge your speed and when in the air it gives you more sense of control. Loud hubs let other trail users know I'm there.
Very useful in multi use trail areas. Yes yes yes!!!! Love my Hope Hubs. Don't need to let people know I'm there they can here me a mile away. Chadwickadam Sep 2, at Helps get idiots out of the way Jc Sep 2, at I went from I9 hubs to Onyx. The silence makes for an amazingly different ride.
I'm running them on the road and mountain. You guys are all amateurs. I still put baseball cards in my spikes. I suppose it won't be to difficult to sell if I don't get on with it. I have both. Hope always seem OTT but they do sound awesome.
My Novatec rear hub on my new road wheels is very loud along with the carbon rim echo But nothing beats the whoosh noise of my disc wheel!
I could definitely live with it! My miche hub on my better wheels is pretty quiet. I'm not sure about the tiagra hub on my winter bike as I'm usually being deafened by the rattly mudguards. I've ridden hope hubs for 4K miles love them brilliant and most people who hear them love them as well. Also easy to service which is an added bonus in my eyes. I couldn't cope with the noise on a road bike but have Hope wheels on my mountain bikes.

It comprises a collection of independent cogs set on layered rings that come apart and slot onto the body of the also more modern freehub component.
Chris King hubs sound the way they do because of their spiral gearing and twice the amount of pawls of most hubs. The intent is instant power applied when you pedal, instead of wasting any pedal stroke as happens with a normal pawl system. This is because on a King hub there are always pawls engaged.
And since more pawls and engagement points equal greater pedaling efficiency, more expensive hubs offer more of those and sound louder as a result. Now the sound of the Hope Pro 4 hub is loud, no doubt about that. I actually like it. Being close to the road or trail surface, debris flings itself into the space between your chain ring and the frame and eventually, dirt and grime are going to find its way into the bearings and create all sorts of nasty noises while you ride.
A clicking noise often comes from your chain wanting to jump up or down a gear on the rear cassette. This can typically be fixed by adjusting the tension of the cable that runs from your shifter to your rear derailleur.
The clicking could be caused by a bent derailleur hanger.
